Harbor Island

Harbor Island

A van-dwelling comic stalks an industrial zone at night. Calvin Lee Reeder writes and directs “Harbor Island,” a character study where a comedian, played by Josh Fadem, experiences solitude as he paces through a spot of desolation in the Pacific Northwest. In 2020, the Census Bureau reported a total population of three persons on the Seattle peninsula, Harbor Island. Here we meet Dan wandering from industrial yard, to overpass, to street corner. He carries a tape recorder and verbalizes random realizations in the form of awkward jokes. Just as extreme isolation sets in, Dan has run-ins with a reverse mortgage lender named Bill and a suicidal man in a car. With Reeder’s strange trio of characters, the film is a darkly humorous look at desolation through displaced stand-up comedy. -JM. Writer/Director: Calvin Lee Reeder.
