Written by HEF’s Brian Herskowitz and based on the graphic novel series “Rise of the Harvester” by renowned graphic artist Steve McGinnis, The Harvester revolves around a hell-spawned, malevolent killer who is tasked with “harvesting” souls by his father, the king of Hell. The Harvester sets his sights on one very special child and it’s up to a courageous mother to keep her offspring safe.
Pittsburgh native Mowry turned pro in 2016 and is currently undefeated in the MMA. He recently signed with Viacom-owned promotor, Bellator MMA.
