CHICAGO (WLS) -- Mark Harris is a Chicago native, born and raised in Englewood.

Harris is a self-taught filmmaker who self-distributes his films and has gotten films into theaters around the country.

His latest film is called "White People Money." It is a satire, based on the idea MacKenzie Scott offers to give away $15 billion dollars to 15 winners. A couple wins and is determined to keep it a secret.

The movie was filmed in Chicago.

Two area theaters are playing the film this weekend: The Marcus Theatres in Country Club Hills and Chicago Heights.

The film is also streaming now.
