Ride With The Devil is based around new-Asian youth Lin Jin (Andy Wong, Shortland Street) and the friendship he forms with bad-boy racer Kurt Williams (Xavier Horan, The Market). Written and directed by Murray Keane (Shortland Street, Outrageous Fortune) and produced by Rachel Jean (The Market) for Isola Productions, Ride with the Devil was made with money from the New Zealand On Air Innovation Initiative.
The series doesn’t pull any punches and features teenage sex, swearing and wheel-spinning, tyre-smoking suburban car stunts. But what makes this production special is the accuracy with which the characters are portrayed – all of the storylines have been culled from real life news stories and situations, the cars featured in the show are all genuine and so are many of the ‘stunts’.
Actors: Xavier Horan, Caleigh Chung, Andy Wong, Lynette Forday, C. K. Cheung, Anna Hutchinson, Angela Bloomfield
