About The Harvest Project

Personal anguish forces a surgeon into the underground organ trade.

Professor Morteyz, a brilliant physician devises “The Harvest Project” – a sophisticated underground network of organ transplants in an effort to save innocent young lives.

The morals and ethics of ‘the Harvest Project’ are soon challenged when his young protégé falters and becomes involved in the lucrative, but treacherous black market. The university soon serves as the perfect harvest ground and protective shield in selection of ‘living marks’. However, the death of a ‘mark’ attracts the attention of Detective Tzume, who traces the harvest trail back to the professor.

An undercover operation unveils those responsible to Detective Tzume, who is faced with a heart wrenching dilemma - rightfully bring those responsible to justice of the legal system, or use this source to save his dying daughter in desperate need of an organ transplant?

  Director - thank you Tara for the kind words. The movie was quite a challenge to make and we are currently in pre-production of the sequel to this. Any questions about the movie, let me know, I'll try to answer them for you.

  There are some good indie films out there. This is definitely one of them. There really isn’t any senseless violence in this movie, which quite honestly is a bit of a relief from most other movies touching in the area of the human organ trade. But there are a few places that it’s suspenseful and overall it makes you think about the subject matter at hand.
  
  Unlike some other movies having to do with the human organ trade that have a futuristic setting, this particular movie is set in the present. It’s kind of scary to think how things could be happening right now beneath our noses, where it’s invisible with daily hubbub and everyday items. (I won’t look at a blue cooler the same way anymore.) Yes, this movie is playing-off the classic urban legend of the human organ trade: a victim found in a bathtub of ice with a missing kidney. But from what I’ve been reading from various sources, it does seem that this lucrative black market exists where organs are transported from poorer countries to richer ones.
  
  But this movie is more than just about the organ trade. It’s also about a professor that definitely has some personal issues to overcome. He pretty much thinks he’s godlike and he uses his underground network to save lives and make a difference in the world—a difference that he’s trying to make-up for a lost loved one that he couldn’t save himself.
  
  One of the professor’s adversaries is the detective. He’s also got his own personal struggles that he’s dealing with, and it was interesting to see how it played out. His predicament was definitely challenging his beliefs of right from wrong.
  
  There are other characters that had good character development, including Shawn who is this creepy, cold-hearted person involved in the organ trade. Later on, the movie touches on how the organ trade turned him into this kind of person.
  
  But instead of reading about it, I suggest finding some time to watch the movie itself.
