“Harleyville”

Produced By LIZA WATTS & ANDREW BAKER | Directed by ANDREW BAKER | Original Score by JOHN KONOPKA

Step into the quiet corners of rural Maine, where Harley and Jean Watts, a couple in their 70s, have spent a lifetime crafting a world uniquely their own. Harleyville is a tender 40-minute documentary that celebrates the extraordinary within the ordinary, exploring the rich inner lives of two individuals who embrace creativity and love without the need for fanfare.

Harley is a model railroad enthusiast whose meticulously detailed HO-scale layout fills his basement, a labor of passion that spans decades. Jean, an artist with a keen eye for color, captures fleeting beauty in her paintings, drawing inspiration from the subtle details of the world around her. Together, they embody the spirit of creating for the pure joy of it, finding purpose and connection in their shared, quiet life.

Harleyville is a story of art for art’s sake and love for love’s sake—a reflection on what it means to live meaningfully without the noise of the world. This film invites you to see beauty in the everyday and reminds you that life’s richest moments are often the simplest ones.

Let Harleyville inspire you to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary and celebrate the quiet power of a life well-lived.
