“Hilary Harris is one of the few really interesting filmmakers in the country … a keen and penetrating visual perception … a search for understanding of the complex world about … rare combination of qualities … necessary to making great films”
— Leo Hurwitz, former head of NYU Graduate School of the Arts

“Hilary is unquestionably one of the most original and talented filmmakers of the American independent cinema … he is in a class by himself, a master of his craft.”
— Amos Vogel, founder of the NY Film Festival

“Why make films at all? To give a richer vision of surrounding reality. My aim is to lift people out of their preconceptions.” — Hilary Harris
