Harper

Harper is a film that doesn't rely on the obvious and easy choices of excessive violence, swearing, or sexual encounters. It has the courage to stand by simple and strong themes: love, bravery, discipline, and commitment. While the film focuses on a child lead, it is created to be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a heartwarming and inspiring story; truly a breath of fresh air in this cynical age of cheap humor and fast paced story lines.

Kate Bohan is a director who pursues the ultimate, and every visual screen has her signature. What a compassionate piece of art. Everyone in this film had powerful deep performances. A must watch film!

Back in the day, my neighborhood pals would gather at someone's house w/a color TV (in the 70's not everyone could afford one.) And ocassionally instead of cartoons, once in a blue moon, we'd be treated to a 30 min afterschool special usually about kids in crisis. So when I stumbled across the trailer, I decided to take my own elementary age daughter & even got some friends w/kids to go watch this one afternoon. And actually the kidz really seemed to get into it...the story seemed to strike a chord especially in one who's adopted.

Obviousy this was a very limited budget type of flick, so if you're expecting production values like the latest Spiderman reboot, you'll be disappointed. But the girls in our group got into it as a character study. I mean how often is the main protagonist in a film an 11 yr old girl?

You can't choose your family & Harper shows how life's circumstance can push one into situations beyond our control but relationship building with extended family contains a fragile beauty that can color ones life in this coming of age story.

Very sweet and uplifting film. A tender story about a girl trying to find her way in a sometimes harsh and unforgiving world. Her journey reminds us to appreciate the good things we have in our lives and the value of opening our heart to others.

I'm so honored to get such a fantastic starring for this film. Working for this film gives me so much pride and I owe all of my thanks to my amazing co-workers and Director. Their excitement and care for the work we do inspires me every day to work harder and help put on these amazing result. I'm excited and grateful for future and the opportunity to grow as a part of this film and crew.

Lift up your head princess, if not, the crown falls.
