A native of the south side of Chicago’s Chatham community and Princeton Park, Harvey Pullings, Jr (born Feb. 14th, 1986) is an independent filmmaker, photographer and writer. A graduate of Columbia College Chicago, and Moraine Valley Community College, his thematic preferences in cinema are focused on perspectives of the “common man’s turmoil," the struggles of identity, the effects of a father's legacy and the impact on children, as well as race relations and violence. Pullings grew up in a household of film lovers and religious, blue collar workers. A middle class upbringing that made his perspective of inner city life a humble and warm viewpoint, with an acknowledgement of obstacles, inherit to the progression of many individuals in the U.S.
Cinema has always been something that I can't put into words beyond its hypnotic. I'm from the generation of pre-internet, so my days of youth was spent staying up late watching Canon films, Friday night features, Late Night cinema and whatever was playing at the movies that grabbed my interest. Because of this varying interest of mine, I don't want to make movies that please all people. I want to make movies that make you talk about it, see it again and talk about it more.
