Project Description

An animated short film on how community is created through ride-sharing.

Synopsis:

JUNE is an elderly widow residing quietly in the historic Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago--her late husband’s vintage muscle car adds the only contrast to an otherwise lonely existence. Her routine unexpectedly shifts when the car--once a symbol of young love and a glitzy Motown career--is totaled in a random accident. In the aftermath, June must abandon nostalgia in exchange for the modern world by using a rideshare app for the first time. Once she purchases a new car, June slowly observes the community and social outreach ridesharing provides throughout her city. June takes the initiative to join this new world and finally puts herself back in the driver’s seat of life.
