P
art sequel, part prequel, Easy Rider: The Ride Back delves into the family
lineage of Wyatt “Captain America” Williams (played in the original by Peter
Fonda) and the families trials and tribulations throughout the decades of the
40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s to present day. Juxt-a-posed against the families
love affair with motorcycles, the film delves into issues of love, War, honor,
and redemption, while keeping true to the spirit of the original film: the iconic
“Buddy Ride” and the idea of a continuing search for freedom in an America
that is struggling to find its identity.

O
pening against the back-drop of present day Americana, the
story begins with a conflicted Morgan Williams as he journeys to
make amends with his dying father in Arizona. The black sheep
of the family, Morgan’s 40 year rift with his father has been the
product of his following in the footsteps of his older brother Wyatt. Riding aboard the trademark Captain America motorcycle, a
chopper which he recovered and rebuilt after his brother’s death
in Louisiana, Morgan teams up with his childhood friend Wes
Coast as they embark upon an adventure that will force them to
confront the past in order to make reparations with the present.
From the conflicting battle fields of World War II and Vietnam to
the dark past that has splintered a family, Easy Rider: The Ride
Back is a journey for all ages.

BRIAN LATTILLE / DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Brian Lataille grew up in Vernon, Connecticut, and like everyone in the field of movie making, dreamed of one
day working in the motion picture business. Brian completed his schooling and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts
in Cinematography and immediately began working in his field of choice. For the next few years Brian worked
on many TV features including Monk, Girl Friends, The Game, and The Secret Life of an American Teenager.
Modestly selling himself as a jack-of-all-trades, Brian was able to bring a visual acumen to productions that
only a handful of operators were able to. Brian was able to give filmmakers with a modest budget, some of the
big budget shots that are often lacking in those types of productions. His work includes Ghost Rock, Angel Air,
and Lethal, along with a series of national TV ads, and then feature films such as Killing Cupid, Alien Invasion
Arizona, Dual: The Lone Drifter, and now Easy Rider: The Ride Back. In the field of cinematography Brian admires and respects some of the greats including, Bernie Abramson, Donald A. Morgan, Affonso Beato, César
Charlone, Dean Cundy, Lazlo Kovacs, Vilmos Zsigmond, Jack N. Green, Russell Carpenter, and Tom Stern.
Lataille currently resides in Burbank, California and is currently attached to oversee the cinematography on two
projects in the fall of 2009.
VINCE MORELLA / EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

need to be in charge of his own destiny, Vince started his own CPA practice which he successfully operated for
ten years before selling to a larger firm. Vince’s entrepreneurial attitude has steered him to several successful
business ventures in wholesale and retail fuel, family entertainment, real estate and the health care industry. His
first involvement in the movie industry came as an Executive Producer on Burning Palms, written and directed
by Christopher Landon, which is scheduled for release in early 2010. Vince’s investment strategy of investing
in people first and the deal second has always been a mainstay of his business philosophy, hence making the
Easy Rider project a natural fit.
