Synopsis: When a former equestrian champion returns home from college, she finds that her best friend is taking her place training for an upcoming competition. As she struggles with the injury that prevents her from riding again, the tension between the two mounts and their trainer encourages them to lean on each other, and their love of horses and racecars, to find strength, hope, and redemption. Trailer: The film stars Eva Igo (The Last Astronaut, World of Dance), Alexis Arnold (The Shipment), Tom Vera (The Great American Action Hero), Amanda Pfeiffer (Grit), Ethan Rhoad (Dragonfly Boy), and introduces actor Ashton Dunford in his first role, who has been blind since birth. Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films says, "This film is more than an equestrian competition story. It deals with friendship and loyalty over individual success." "Our characters find themselves in significant battles with external situations or internal demons, and the only way to overcome and triumph over those issues is to face them head on," said Nick Pinelli, the film's director. "It's a film about redemption, hope, love — and all that it takes to be the best version of ourselves." Author/writer Donald Miller shares, "If I Could Ride Again reminds us that even when life takes a turn we never expected, the road ahead can still lead to hope, healing, and incredible triumph. This story is more than a movie —it's a tribute to love, loss, and the strength to rise again and never give up. It's inspired by my son, and it carries his spirit in every frame." He continues, "New actor Ashton Dunford reminded all of us what courage truly looks like. He didn't just play the role of David—he lived it. His performance is a powerful message that no dream is out of reach, no matter the obstacles." Donnie Miller adds, "It was an emotional journey to step into my brother's shoes and wear his last racing uniform. Every scene felt like honoring his legacy in the most powerful way I could."

Vision Films to Posthumously Release Thomas Duncan's Feature-length Documentary 'Sound of The Surf'
LOS ANGELES, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vision Films Inc. ("Vision") has set July 1, 2025 for the North American Transactional VOD release of the documentary Sound of The Surf from the late Thomas Duncan and executive producer John Blair. Written, directed, and produced by Duncan and executive produced by John Blair and Isariya Duncan. A story 17 years in the making, John Blair, of Jon and The Nightriders fame, persevered to complete the film after Duncan's passing in 2021. The use of original music, rare archival footage, photos, and exclusive interviews defines the birth and legacy of the uniquely SoCal surf sound. Unknown to many, the innovative sound of surf music began as instrumental and became a cultural phenomenon almost overnight when the world of surfing claimed it as their own during the transitional time of the 1960's. Witness the rise and influence of the electric guitar and the relevance of the band in pop culture still today while rocking out to the soundtrack. Watch the trailer: HERE Synopsis: In the 1960's, surf music was born in southern California and quickly became a global cultural phenomenon. From the original pioneers to those who revolutionized it, surf music's influence helped to shape an entire generation. Journey back in time with original music, rare archival footage, personal photo collections, and exclusive interviews from surf music legends and their fans. Lise Romanoff, CEO and Managing Director of Vision Films says, "A perfect film for summer – this is one of the most thorough narratives about the birth and meteoric rise of one of the most fun and enduring music genres of our time. Sound of The Surf truly captures the nostalgia of an era but reminds us that the music is still relevant and enjoyable today." Executive Producer John Blair shares, "The development and spread of the surf music genre in the early 1960s had a pronounced effect on the music industry and popular culture. The story is a definitive example of the American Dream, told for the first time in Sound of The Surf." Sound of The Surf will be available on major streaming and cable platforms across North America, followed by DVD on July 1, 2025.
