As I announced in a previous post, Rose‘s first short film as director, ‘Nice Ride‘ was available this weekend online (see the dedicated post).
Nice Ride (USA, 2019, 13 minutes)
Director: Rose McIverIn a small coastal town, two teenage cousins fantasize about their future together. When life pans out differently for each of them, the women try to navigate their relationship despite trauma and comparison. Underneath appearances is a complicated love that withstands more than either woman predicted.
Starring: Catherine Parker, Hannah Marshall, Nicole Falk, Lucia Tower
My review
Wonderfully written and directed by Rose, this short film shows us two cousins who plan their futures, their desires and are confronted with the fact that life does not always unfold as we imagined. The actresses, both adolescent and adult, brilliantly managed to make us feel their emotions.
I also very appreciated the choice of music at the end, which lent itself beautifully to the atmosphere and the feelings of the film.
Also, seeing Rose‘s name as director at the end had a special emotion for me. It’s a new step in her career and I’m so proud! I can’t wait to see what’s next for her. In the very end of the credits, special thanks were made for her family and her role model, Miranda Harcourt. That was a super cute note.
Cast and crew of this short film have made a fantastic job. Huge congratulations to everyone involved!
Some fans reviews
It was beautifully shot and in just the few minutes time it was able to make me feel something real, between these two friends.

I thought it was good! Good acting, good cinematography. And like you, I liked the song at the end.

I really liked the movie and I hope we can see more of Rose as a director I really think she did a great job as well as the rest of the crew.
