*****************************************
Will Ferrell and Harper Steele have been friends for 30 years, since almost their first day working together on Saturday Night Live. “We hit it off pretty quickly,” Steele told Netflix. “I wrote a lot of stuff for Will, much of which didn’t make it to air because it was too good.” Steele would eventually serve as head writer at SNL from 2004 to 2008, while Ferrell became one of its breakout stars.
After leaving the show, they continued to work together. Steele wrote Ferrell’s telenovela homage Casa de mi Padre and his Lifetime movie A Deadly Adoption; she also served as creative director at his production company Funny or Die. And they never stopped hanging out outside of work. So when Steele came out as a trans woman, the pair embarked on a road trip to process this new stage in their friendship and reintroduce Steele to the country she loves as her authentic self.
Director Josh Greenbaum (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar) says of the film, “Will & Harper is a story about friendship, allyship, and the journey to becoming your true self. It’s about identity, America, pain, laughter, and acceptance — both of each other and, more importantly, of ourselves. It’s also about the power of Pringles, cheap beer, and road trips with your best friend.”
