Film rights to The Last Cab Ride are now available!
Over the years, probably 100 film makers have contacted me about making a film of my story about my cab ride with the woman going to the hospice. I have always had to turn them away because the rights had been purchased by New Line Cinema. Now New Line has decided to let those rights lapse, so the story is available once again.
Unfortunately, I did not keep track of the many inquiries, so if you are one who contacted me, I do not have your name or contact information. PLEASE CONTACT ME AGAIN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING OR OPTIONING THIS STORY. I look forward to hearing from you!
For those of you who do not know the story, you can read it at the bottom of my home page www.kentnerburn.com under the title, "The Cab Ride I'll Never Forget". It is far and away the most read piece I have ever written, with probably half a million internet views from all corners of the earth. It was a true story from my time driving a cab, and it touched a chord in people with its simple depiction of a moment of human kindness in a too-often unkind world. I'm pleased that it has meant so much to so many people, and I hope some of you filmmakers who were interested will see this and reach out to me again.

A little clean-up work -- a new "biography" | Kent Nerburn
One of my wonderful publicists, Monique Muhlenkamp, gave me a nudge the other day and said, “Your biography is getting a bit stodgy. Can you update it?” I am no lover of the business side of being an author and I do it poorly. In this world where a nine-year-old posting a tiktok video of […]
excerpted from Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace: Living in the Spirit of the Prayer of St. Francis by Kent Nerburn
There was a time in my life twenty years ago when I was driving a cab for a living. It was a cowboy’s life, a gambler’s life, a life for someone who wanted no boss, constant movement and the thrill of a dice roll every time a new passenger got into the cab.
What I didn’t count on when I took the job was that it was also a ministry. Because I drove the night shift, my cab became a rolling confessional. Passengers would climb in, sit behind me in total anonymity and tell me of their lives. [READ MORE]
