Harry is a retired teacher in his 70s living in the Upper West Side of New York City where his late wife and he raised his children–where he’s lived all his life. When the building he lives in is torn down to make way for a parking garage, Harry and his beloved cat Tonto begin a journey across the United States, visiting his children, seeing a world he never seemed to have the time to see before, making new friends, and saying goodbye to old friends.
In 2007, Doug programmed Harry and Tonto for the Los Angeles Film Festival, where he was then the Senior Programmer, and I a Programmer for the Festival. The screening was attended by Paul Mazursky, and I had never seen it. It will always remind me of Doug, of our beautiful friendship, and 20 years of moving-watching together. –Maggie Mackay, Vidiots Executive Director
