Shannon Harper is a Midtown claims adjuster by day and Williamsburg bouncer by night. He’s just
begun to clean up his life when he learns earth-shattering news that compels him to return to the people
and places of his past and experience life beyond the pavement. Whether settling old debts, reconnecting
with his mother, or visiting former friends, Shannon is a quiet presence, and the film is an intimate
window into the authentic cracks of light that fill his life. Longing to leave his concrete confines, Shannon
travels upstate to Pine Hill where, alone in the unfettered wilderness, he finally experiences the freedom
he seeks.
Featuring an extraordinarily natural debut performance by the real-life Shannon Harper and the
supporting cast, WELCOME TO PINE HILL blurs and defies the line between documentary and fiction
and offers a sense of immediacy that is unique to Miller’s vision and storytelling.
