FILMMAKER'S STATEMENT

"Prince Harming" is based on a true story and deals with the escalation of abuse in a relationship and its eventual overcoming it. We believe this film deserves a large audience because the timeliness of its topic of relationship abuse. It's told with a good portion of humor as the protagonist fights her way all theway to the bottom in a relationship that started out as a dream come true. Furthermore we want to contribute to the growing positive visibility of women caught in domestic violence situations as we join the #MeToo and #TimesUp movement. "Prince Harming" features strong women in front of and behind the lens, which, in Hollywood, are still far and few between.
