‘Harvest’ Makes Local Debut Tonight


Harvest, a film shot in and around Madison, CT in September 2008, will have its local debut this weekend beginning this afternoon (Friday, August 20) at the Madison Art Cinemas.

The film, shot at venues that include West Wharf and the Madison Art Cinemas,  was written and directed by Marc Meyers and produced by Meyers and Jody Girgenti. Harvest won Best American Independent Film at the 34th Cleveland International Film Festival, the Jury Prize and Audience Award for Best Feature Film at the Sacramento Film & Music Festival, and Best Connecticut Grown Film at the Connecticut Film Festival.

The film stars Academy Award-nominated Robert Loggia, Jack Carpenter, Arye Gross, Tony-winner Victoria Clark, and Academy Award-nominated Barbara Barrie, with Peter Friedman, Adriana Sevan, Kel O’Neill, Christine Evangelista, and Daniel Eric Gold.

Harvest tells the story of three generations of a family coming together one summer, around the eventual passing of the patriarch of the family, a WWII veteran. Gathered at the family home and in and around their beautiful shoreline town, years of resentment and betrayal surface, and the grandson does his part to hold them all together.
