Welcome to Pine Hill

Shannon Harper is an imposing 6-foot, 300-pound young Caribbean American. A recently reformed drug dealer working as a claims adjuster by day and bouncer by night, Shannon receives earth-shattering news that compels him to make peace with his past and search for freedom beyond the concrete jungle of New York. With a cinema verite style rooted in very real life, WELCOME TO PINE HILL features an extraordinarily intimate performance by Harper playing himself, supported by an eclectic cast of non-actors. Traveling from the backyards of Brooklyn crack houses to the lush Catskill Mountains, the film is a meditative journey about how we choose to live our lives.

In collaboration with the Brooklyn Filmmakers Collective, of which director Keith Miller is a part, WELCOME TO PINE HILL is a 2011 Independent Filmmaker Lab participant and Miller's debut feature.
