Romantic drama melds love, break-ups, reunions, music, family, and self-discovery
PITTSBURGH, PA, April 15, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — A romantic drama featuring rediscovery and lost love is set against a seaside, musician-driven backdrop in writer-director Oscar Wenman-Hyde’s Melodrive. The feature film is set for global release by Hawk Hill Pictures on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, as it streams across multiple platforms including Apple TV, Google Play/YouTube Movies & TV, and Amazon’s Prime Video.
Wenman-Hyde describes Melodrive as “a coming-of-age, music-centered road trip film with a vibe that is thoroughly British and exuberant yet doesn’t gloss over the world’s sometimes harsh realities.”
Melodrive follows the collapse of Ethan’s marriage following his emotional affair, leading the drifting musician to set out on a road trip to his hometown. A chance reunion with his high school sweetheart stirs unresolved feelings, forcing Ethan face-to-face with who he is. As he surveys the damage he’s caused, he grapples with long-ignored family issues and the cost of running from responsibility as the possibility of new love looms large in his life.
The film stars Michelle Collins as Nora, who reconnects with her past love, Ethan (Matt Wake). The supporting cast includes Mark Arnold as Mickey and Megan Alderson in the role of Zoey.
“We were captivated byMelodrive and its unique exploration of the timeless themes of love that’s been lost, a love that is found, and parent-child relationships that mold us in ways that help create what we resist, seek, and value” said Jen Katzfey of Hawk Hill Pictures.

Melodrive is the recipient of multiple award nominations, including Best British Film in the Romford Film Festival (2024) and Best Indie Film in the Liverpool Indie Awards (2024).
