To Make ‘Will & Harper,’ Will Ferrell and Harper Steele Turned to a Tangled Network of Old Friends and Collaborators: ‘This Was a Family Affair’
Will Ferrell and Harper Steele relied on a network of old friends and colleagues to pull off their Netflix road trip documentary 'Will and Harper.'
They’re joking about the sex party, of course, but the group behind “Will & Harper” does boast a tangled network of connections that extend back through the decades, one that includes marriages, longtime friendships and artistic partnerships. So Greenbaum strapped two cameras to the hood of Steele’s jeep (“It made driving complicated,” she says) and followed the pair for 16 days as they attended a Pacers game and a stock car race, relaxed in an Oklahoma dive bar and went for a hot air balloon ride in New Mexico. Greenbaum whittled it all down to a manageable two hours, requiring him to excise scenes of Ferrell using Steele’s CB trucker radio under the handle “California Kid,” as well as a bit involving a chocolate bunny that the pair inadvertently left out on the dashboard until it became soup.
