Shot in New Zealand, the film tells the story of Andy, a new kid in the area, as he goes through his daily daunting journey of getting onto the school bus. All eyes are on him. He’s an outsider whose friendship with the bus driver blossoms, as does his own confidence, to a point where the bus ride becomes fun.
"This was a great film to work on and making it brought back a lot of memories of being 13. The pressures of being a new kid on a bus and having a carriage load of eyes watching you is pretty daunting at that age. Oscar, our lead actor, was amazing and we just loved him on screen. We did the production in New Zealand which gave the film a great head start as castings and locations in the country are fantastic."
