What happens

Harvest Home is a short film written and directed by Austin filmmaker Craig Whitney and starring Diane Hruska and Scott Bate. The film was produced in 2008 in association with Better Archangel Pictures, and was screened in May 2009 at the Cannes Short Film Corner. Inspired by the family chamber dramas of Yasujirō Ozu and the analytical depictions of modern life in the films of Michelangelo Antonioni, Harvest Home offers a lyrical and plaintive examination of growing old and enduring life's everyday tragedies in the midst of contemporary society, and the mysterious dichotomy that exists between the tragedy and the banality of our daily misfortunes.
