The Passenger
Producer: Sahej Sidhu
Writer/Director: Michelangelo Gutierrez
The night of a lonely rideshare driver in San Francisco, portrayed in black and white.
In a rapidly changing San Francisco, lonely high school teacher, Isak- when sober enough to get behind the wheel- turns to driving for a rideshare company in a desperate search for human connection. Set along the course of a lengthy Thursday night, The Passenger explores themes of loneliness and a struggle with one's inner demons that are inescapable- no matter how hard and long you try to drive them off. From a former student who is now all grown up, an ex lover, and just about everyone in between, Isak sees not only a reflection of San Francisco through his passengers, but his haunting past as well.
