A white man stranded on the side of the road. A black man speeding by in an SUV. An act of kindness with fatal repercussions. A mysterious backpack. And a twist that will leave you staggering. Two strangers, each harboring dark secrets and deceitful motives, learn how much can change in just 30 Miles.
30 Miles follows two men of different race & background on a dramatic pressure-cooker. Ernie (Rusty Gray), a down-on-his-luck drifter, and Anthony (Lawrence-Hilton Jacobs of “Welcome Back Kotter” fame) a successful Hollywood agent, find their fates intertwined after a chance meeting. As the men reveal intimate details of their pasts, guards are let down and emotions are left unchecked. But as day turns to night, and in a desert that buries all secrets, becomes apparent that this is no random journey down the highway.
The first 24p HD feature to be shot with the P+S Technik Pro-35mm film adapter, 30 Miles is the directorial debut of Ryan Harper and played in competition at the Cinequest-San Jose Film Festival and the American Black Film Festival.
It will be released on dvd in 2005 through Maverick Entertainment.
