Riding with sunshine was selected by South Film and Arts Academy Festival from Chile, AltFF Alternative Film Festival from Toronto, Ontario, and GSF Awards - Global Short Film Awards from France. They are in the running for a couple of awards too. Congratulations and good luck to the filmmakers.

Riding is based on real-life events. It's about two friends, Mario and Vikki, and how one day changes Vikki's views of the world. It deals with gripping social injustice themes that are deeply relevant and were addressed profoundly and artistically. It won 2 awards and was nominated for 4 from the US and International film festivals. And it's still growing.

It features the extraordinary talents of Rahiem Wilson Morgan, Kristian Comer, Scott Churchson, Rick Levi, Jessica Jaber-Fishel, Noreen Gallucci, Peter Simpson, Jaimie Garrabrant, Seamus Higgins, and Amber Starr May, with the spectacular talented crew of J.T. Maguire, Dinesh Jayapalan, Vitaly Tomachevski, Bill Drummer, Gina Marie Rodriguez, Sean Collishaw, Carlo Darcelin, Eric Barkley, Patricia Maloney-Titland, Tristram Plummer, Rosemary Witte, Sam Harps, James Comer and Patrick Berwise Jr, and the astounding musical talent of Jelani Jeffries and Adam Gloc. It was filmed in Kristian's beautiful hometown of Rockland New York.
