In 2015, Harney returned to his film roots in the independent drama, Bad Hurt, produced by Sons of Anarchy star Theo Rossi which had its world premiere at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival. Set in 1999, Bad Hurt chronicles Ed Kendall's (Harney) struggle with PTSD as a proud war veteran and father to son (Theo Rossi) and mentally ill adult daughter (Iris Gilad), and the challenges each of them face during the constant pursuit of maintaining a normal family dynamic.
