Riding with Sunshine
Riding with Sunshine is a short film created by filmmaker Kristian Comer[1]. It is co-directed by herself and J.T. Maguire. It stars Rahiem Wilson Morgan as Mario and Kristian Comer as Vikki.[2][3][4][5][6] Bold themes of police racism and brutality were not to be expected in a short film called Riding with Sunshine.[3] Kristian Comer's drama is a poetic and very interesting statement about how quickly events can spiral out of control these days.[7] Riding was filmed in Rockland County, New York.
