Synopsis
Kev, a desperate father, takes his ten-year-old son, Chook, on the run after committing a violent crime. As the two journey by car across the Australian desert towards an unknown future, they are forced to look at their relationship and recognise themselves for who they really are. Chook will realise that his father's reassurances are actually just illusory, and, to save himself, the choice he is forced to make has a devastating effect on both their lives.

Director
Glendyn Ivin studied film and in particular, documentary. His graduating film Neverland, was a journey into the sub-culture of inner-city bicycle couriers. Since 2000, he has been a director at Exit Films, one of Australia's most successful commercial production companies, where he has built a career as a commercial and music promo director. Cracker Bag, completed in 2003 was his first short drama. In 2005, Glendyn directed Von Stauffenberg's Stamp as part of the television series Two Twisted. In 2006 he wrote and directed another short The Desert. And In 2007 he produced and directed the controversial film-clip Paradise, a collaboration with legendary Australian rock band Magic Dirt. Last Ride is his feature film debut.
