The Last Ride: Part I

The Last Ride is my first narrative movie that I've made back in 2004. Even though I find it kind of cheesy and a little too preachy... this is one of my favorite films I've ever made. Maybe it was the fact that all my friends were either in it or helped out in some way or the fact that the final product came out fairly well even on a shoe-string budget... or the fact that this was my first time making a narrative film!!! This was truly a labor of love and if it wasn't for all of my friends... it wouldn't be. When hearing that I needed to make a five minute film as a final for my class, I knew I wanted to make a film based on my faith... being a Christian. However, I knew going into this that most Christian films get slammed and people are generally overly critical towards them but I just knew this was something I needed to do. Back when I was a kid I saw a play called "Heaven's Gates, Hell's Flames" and it touched me. I decided for my first film to be about the choice of accepting Jesus as your personal savior. I've learned a lot from making this movie and I really hope that you like it and that it entertains you. I also hope that you may also get something out of it or at least makes you think a little more about the subject matter. Personally, I think it turned out great considering this was made in my Intro to Film class with barely any money, so little time, and with a crew that really had no clue what they were doing... but really was one of the best crews I've had... Enjoy...
