Check out the trailer for the highly anticipated Netflix original documentary ‘Will & Harper’, directed by Josh Greenbaum. Look for the must see movie which follows superstar actor Will Ferrell as he goes on a road trip with his best friend Harper head writer for SNL who has now transitioned into a women on one hell of a journey when it premieres on September 27th.

Synopsis

Will Ferrell and Harper Steele have been friends since almost their first day working together on Saturday Night Live. “We hit it off pretty quickly,” Steele told Netflix. “I wrote a lot of stuff for Will, much of which didn’t make it to air because it was too good.” Steele would eventually serve as head writer at SNL from 2004 to 2008, while Ferrell became one of its breakout stars. Now, you can sit in on the pair’s evolving friendship in a new documentary: Will & Harper. After their work on SNL, Ferrell and Steele continued to work together. Steele wrote Ferrell’s telenovela homage Casa de mi Padre and his Lifetime movie A Deadly Adoption; she also served as creative director at his comedy website and production company Funny or Die. And they never stopped hanging out outside of work.

“We’d go to Lakers games, go on road trips together, surprise each other at random little bars in costume,” Ferrell told Netflix. When Steele came out as transgender three years ago, she wasn’t sure if those same experiences were open to her. Would she feel comfortable at a Lakers game, or rolling up to a dive bar in Iowa? And Ferrell wasn’t sure if their friendship would continue without a hitch. Would he feel as comfortable shooting the breeze in the car with her? That’s when Ferrell came up with the notion that would become Will & Harper, directed by Josh Greenbaum. “What if we went on a road trip together, giving her a chance to go into a cowboy bar or whatever places she misses, and I can be by her side and lend support as a friend?” Ferrell asked. “At the same time, it would give us a chance to reconnect, and figure out what this transition means to our relationship.” Steele saw the road trip as an opportunity to reintroduce herself to the country she loves. “I didn’t just want to come out in places like New York or LA and forever live on either coast,” Steele said. “I love the whole country. It’s my country, and I wanted to feel a little safer being in it. And I thought that going across the country with Will Ferrell would help me. That’s the privilege I have knowing Will Ferrell.” And thus, the story of Will & Harper begins.
