It was written and produced by Jonathan Harnisch and Maureen Cooke, and directed by Willie Ford. “We are pleased to receive the award for Best Drama at the Motion Film Festival for On the Bus,” said Jonathan Harnisch, executive producer for Fat Man Media. “The amount of national attention On the Bus has received from film festivals has been remarkable and we are very proud of the awards and honors the film has received.”
Earlier this year, "On the Bus" was awarded five “Indie” awards including Award of Excellence for the film, Award of Excellence for its Lead Actor Mark Schrier, Award of Merit for directing, and two Awards of Merit for writing.

"On the Bus" is a psychological thriller about the experiences of Larry (played by Mark Schrier), a mentally disturbed man, who rides a bus and bothers passengers based on recent circumstances in his life. The film has a surprise ending that startles the audience, but ties the fragmented story together in a dramatic conclusion.
