Baron Geisler shared the trailer for his upcoming movie on Netflix titled The Delivery Rider.
"Every ride tells a story. This one’s close to my heart. ❤️ We dedicate #TheDeliveryRider to all the AUsome parents, those raising children on the spectrum, and to all the hardworking delivery riders, our everyday heroes. 🚴♂️💪 Rain or shine, they keep moving with kindness, love, and perseverance," he wrote on Instagram as he posted the trailer.
The actor added: "This is a wholesome, heartwarming film for the entire family 🤗 A story that celebrates compassion, understanding, and the beauty of being different."

The Delivery Rider is an action-drama movie that follows Santo (portrayed by Baron), a delivery rider with functional autism who strives for independence and inclusion. The trailer shows Santo delivering orders with his young son (portrayed by Euwenn Mikaell) when they witness a crime, setting off a thrilling chase as they try to escape a gang led by Jake Cuenca’s character.
Baron's daughter, Talitha, was diagnosed with mild Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a connection that made the story even more meaningful to him.
"I'm really grateful for this film, it's more than just action or drama. It's very personal–– lahat kami sa team may connection dito. Si Direk Lester (Pimentel Ong) has a son who's under the spectrum. Ako naman, I have Talitha, my pride and joy, who’s also under the spectrum. Si Euwenn Mikaell, 'yung sister niya is also under the spectrum," he said during the recent media conference of the movie
He added: "From the very start, alam namin that this story was very special. We made this film with respect, care, and love. Hindi siya caricature or stereotype, it’s real–– it’s grounded. For us, it’s a love letter, a gift to parents, to people, most especially sa mga under the spectrum."
The Delivery Rider will premiere on Netflix on October 23.
