FilmRise has picked up exclusive worldwide distribution rights to the heartwarming, horse-jumping documentary, "Harry & Snowman." The touching film "follows the Cinderella story of Dutch immigrant Harry deLeyer and his transformative relationship with a broken down Amish plow horse – named Snowman – that he rescued off a slaughter truck bound for the glue factory. In less than two years, Harry and Snowman would go on to win the triple crown of show jumping, beating the nation’s blue bloods and traveling the world together as they became the media darlings of the 1950s and 60s." The film premiered to sold out crowds at Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and went on to win ten audience awards for best documentary, including wins at the 2015 Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival, the 2015 Nantucket Film Festival, and the 2015 New Hampshire Film Festival. "Harry & Snowman" will receive a theatrical release in September.
