Ian Dray’s “RideBy”, with no advertised release date, is expected out soon
RideBy, directed by Ian Dray from a screenplay co-written with Matthew J. Gunn and Naveen Medaram, is expected to hit cinema screens in late 2023. The film, a gritty British drama, revolves around girl gang warfare which leads to an innocent 5-year-old getting caught in the crossfire.
The film, with Prajay J Kamat serving as executive producer, stars Ruby-May Martinwood, Christopher Villiers, Chris Wilson, Neerja Naik, and Poppy Roe.
Martinwood, playing Pheobes in Dray’s RideBy, brings to the film a fully-rounded characterisation.

Noting the cast list for RideBy, something Father Brown fans will immediately pick up on, Martinwood is not the only talent to appear in both the period drama and Dray’s film.
