Netflix Buys Will Ferrell’s Sundance Doc ‘Will & Harper,’ About Road Trip With Trans Best Friend
'Will & Harper,' a documentary about Will Ferrell's cross-country trip with his transgender best friend, sold to Netflix after its Sundance debut.
The film, directed by “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” filmmaker Josh Greenbaum, was warmly embraced in Park City with two standing ovations after the credits rolled. In “Will & Harper,” the duo drives from New York to California over 17 days, making pit stops at NBA games, dive bars, highway diners, dirt track races and other places where Steele hopes to feel more comfortable going since she transitioned. In the biggest deal of the festival, the streamer shelled out $17 million for the horror film “It’s What’s Inside.” It also purchased “Skywalker’s,” a buzzy documentary that follows a couple Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus who are drawn together by their love for climbing tall buildings, as well as “Ibelin,” a non-fiction film about a Norwegian gamer named Mats Steen, who died of a degenerative muscle disease at the age of 25.
