Two-time Oscar nominee Emily Watson has joined the Oscar-qualified short film “The Drive” as executive producer, lending her support to husband-and-wife filmmaking team David Arrow and Amber Paul as the film enters awards season.

Set on a warm November afternoon in the early 1960s, “The Drive” is inspired by a little-known episode that unfolded on the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
