Dr. William Harrity
Resurrection Pictures was launched out of frustration by Dr. William “Bill” Harrity, a practicing anesthesiologist from Pasadena, California.It was the lack of wholesome content—and the abundance of offensive material—that led the filmmaker and physician to launch the world’s first 501(c)(3) non-profit, tax-exempt Christian movie ministry of its kind.
Harrity has been involved in all aspects of the entertainment industry for more than 20 years—from credits as a writer, producer, actor, editor and post-production supervisor to international film distribution, domestic home video sales and domestic theatrical distribution.
Resurrection Pictures is Harrity’s second tour through Hollywood. He began his entertainment career by studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, UCLA and the American Film Institute. He is a former member of SAG, AFTRA and the Independent Feature Project of filmmakers.
In 1994, he founded THF Pictures Corporation, a film production and distribution company that specialized in independent films. Harrity owned and ran the company until 2006. During this time, Harrity and THF regularly attended the three major international film markets MIFED in Milan, CANNES in Cannes and the AFM in Santa Monica, Calif.
Dr. Harrity grew up in the Detroit area and completed his residency training at Harbor/UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, California. He currently lives in Pasadena, Calif. and practices medicine at Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena.
