Andrew Rubin on his journey with Ride with Larry
Locally produced doc screens April 13
Larry Smith, the Kilroy of South Dakota, marks his territory.
Movie
Ride with Larry ****
Larry Smith is the only true American hero to emerge from cinema this year. For Smith, movement is life. After living with Parkinson’s for 20 years, the small town baker and retired police officer decides to confront motion disorder head-on by doing “something big before it’s too late.” In Miller’s case, that means attempting a 270-mile ride across South Dakota on a three-wheel bicycle. (Miraculously, there’s a high probability that Parkinson’s patients who can’t walk can pilot a bike!) Local filmmakers Andrew Rubin and Ricardo Villarreal should hang a shingle outside their office that reads, “Improving the quality of life through quality filmmaking.” With <em>Larry</em>, they have achieved the near-impossible: a dramatically compelling, life-embracing love story that never once solicits pity and leaves all other so-called “disease-of-the-week” docs in the dust.
Local filmmakers Andrew Rubin and Ricardo Villarreal's Ride with Larry, the enrichingly uplifting documentary profile of Larry Smith, a retired cop with Parkinson's who rode his bicycle across South Dakota to inspire others living with the disease, will play twice next month at the La Paloma Theatre in Encinitas.
The pair of afternoon screenings take place at 2 pm and 4:30 pm on Sunday, April 13. The second showing will be followed immediately by a panel discussion on current Parkinson's research and therapies, including the use of medical marijuana.

Last week, Andrew Rubin and I had a chance to sit down and talk about Larry and the event. It went something like this.
