Winner of the Best American Independent Film Award at the 34th Cleveland International Film Festival as well as other Audience and Jury awards, HARVEST tells the story of three generations of a family coming together to spend one last summer with its grand old patriarch, a WWII veteran. Poignant but ultimately uplifting, graced with moments of humor, HARVEST is a realistic portrait of a family learning what to let go of but — even more importantly — what to hang on to. Written & directed by Marc Meyers, HARVEST stars Academy Award nominees Robert Loggia & Barbara Barrie, Jack Carpenter, Arye Gross and Tony Winner Victoria Clark. Original Music by Grammy & Tony Winner Duncan Sheik and David Poe.
