Harbinger is a modern day fairy tale that would make the Brother’s Grimm proud. Literature is rich with examples of tales that were not only intended for children but for adults as well. Harbinger does not owe its story line to classic folklore, however, just as Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Emperor’s New Clothes” is a message about innocent children seeing things more clearly than adults, Harbinger is about what the dangers a child sees that are lost on modern adults.

This contemporary fantasy follows twelve-year-old Mira Gonzaga who has been having terrible dreams. As her haunting nightmares escalate, Mira's father moves her and her pregnant mother away from the city to a secluded ranch in the Texas hill-country for some much-needed family healing. Unfortunately, the night terrors do not end for Mira as warnings from her deceased grandmother and visions of things-to-come haunt her dreams as well as her waking reality. When nearby fracking operations begin to infiltrate the ranch's water supply; Mira's parents begin to feel it's dire effects as a transformation begins...and Mira's worst nightmares become real.

Harbinger premiered at the Cine Las Americas International Film Festival in Austin, TX on, May 8, 201. It was released on DVD and various streaming platforms on, February 27, 2017.
