“Harvey the Harlequin”, adapted from Shane Durgee’s “Harley the Harlequin Fetus”, was filmed in the summer of 2005. Set in Killeen, Texas, just outside of Ft. Hood, this disturbing story follows the events surrounding the birth of Harvey, who happens to have the rare and horrifying congenital birth defect commonly known as “Harlequin Fetus”. Harvey’s mother, Amanda, is a raging alcoholic, but doesn’t let her advanced stage of pregnancy get in the way of her love of binge-chugging Everclear straight from the bottle. Harvey’s father, Oliver, has recently been discharged from the US Army after a deployment to Iraq.
