The Ride

Narrative Feature, 2025 (in production)
Dancing Fox Pictures
Written & Directed by Elliott Geolat

Phil is a professional ballet dancer who is originally from a small, remote town in the Ozark Mountains. He has been away from home for many years. He resents his rural roots and has long distanced himself from a mysterious, shady family history surrounding his father. Nonetheless, late one night, Phil finds himself back in his hometown. He has no intentions of staying but, for the first time, experiences an irresistible urge to revisit his past. This kick-starts a down-the-rabbit-hole descent into the secret underworld of the Ozarks, a journey that is both psychedelic and fantastical. He finds himself embracing the kooky locals and their bizarre lifestyle and, with mixed emotions, begins to fall into his father's footsteps. Soon, his indulgent adventures become an introspective nightmare as he struggles to reconcile his background with the life he made for himself as a dancer.
