“I cannot recall a happier or more soul-enriching experience than making She Rides Shotgun. It is without doubt the most tender and felt relationship I have had with an actor on screen. Ana Sophia Heger was ten when we made the film and she is nothing short of extraordinary. In Nick Rowland, I found the kind of like-minded friend and collaborator that comes along once or twice in a lifetime.”
- Taron Egerton, Star and Producer

“Working on She Rides Shotgun was about honouring Jordan Harper’s brutal, beautiful novel while finding a cinematic language that could carry both its savagery and its soul. The film is about two people—strangers, really—who find a way to become a real family in the most brutal of circumstances. What moved me most was the emotional survival in it. There’s tenderness in the trauma. That’s what I wanted to explore—how love can grow even in the darkest places. Taron Egerton brought such depth and volatility to Nate, and Ana Sofia Heger blew us away with her heart and fearlessness as Polly. I’m incredibly proud of what we created together— it’s a ride, and it doesn’t let go.”
- Nick Rowland, Director

“It’s rare to find a film where an already acclaimed actor does something so extraordinary that you take notice, but with She Rides Shotgun, Taron Egerton’s harmonic collaboration with young actress Ana Sophia Heger permeates every scene of this dramatic thrill ride. Director Nick Rowland created what is not only a captivating experience, but also one that will leave the audience changed from when they entered. Lionsgate could not pass up the opportunity to be a part of this journey.”
