POP. by Rich Hardisty

POP. is the extraordinary true story of Rich Hardisty’s search for the father he has never met.

In 2011, following psychiatric treatment and a mania-induced epiphany, Rich flies to New York with no money or plan.

Armed with little more than a name, Rich tries everything in the hope of finding the seemingly untraceable man, and answers to questions that have plagued him his whole life. Desperate, he searches everywhere, with the help of some endearing strangers along the way.

However, when Rich finally does find his father…it doesn’t go as anticipated.

A hilarious and heartbreaking exploration of family, trauma and redemption, POP. will leave you believing that dreams can come true…Just sometimes not in the way we imagined.
