BITTER HARVEST
What Reviewers Are Saying
“The story was reminiscent of the classic 90s film, "Falling Down." A deep dive into the psyche of a man who has reached his breaking point. Who among us hasn't fantasized about what we would do if we reached similar depths of our consciousness? This was an intriguing character study.”
— WeScreenplay Feature Analysis
“(Bitter Harvest) tells a deeply moving story of family ties, past mistakes, and the search for forgiveness. A standout element of this work is its deep dive into the fragility of the human spirit.
A profound look into the depths of human emotion and the lengths one might go to find redemption and peace. Its beautifully layered narrative, authentic dialogue, and well-rounded characters make it an evocative and memorable piece.”
