In this episode of the WOLF Media Festival Podcast, we’re joined by actor, writer, and podcast host Jeff Macolino to discuss his work on the powerful short film The Last Ryde. Jeff not only starred in the film but also wrote the treatment, which follows a rideshare driver on the brink of suicide who crosses paths with a terminally ill passenger—with just 48 hours to live. What unfolds is a heartfelt, life-affirming journey about connection, perspective, and rediscovering the value of every moment. Jeff opens up about the inspiration behind the story, his creative process, and what it was like stepping into such emotionally charged roles—both on paper and on screen.
