Bruised, Battered, Broke, But…. Alive!
Erica Harrell
Producer
When I left HBO’s show Entourage in June to make two feature films, I was terribly uncertain of my future once getting back to LA, but I did’nt think about that before I left. As soon as we wrapped A Monster in the Attic, it hit me: What would I do? Where would I live? (I gave up my apartment and moved into storage so I could afford to make two films) Would I ever be able to get a job in the industry again?
Since both films are in post production, I knew that all of our hard work was not going to pay off just yet. So I had to return and find job where I wasnt the producer, but a small fish in a very large pond. Fortunately, a friend of mine got me a job on another HBO show 12 Miles of Bad Road (premiering this Fall). After two days at this job Entourage called me back to work! This Friday I return to work, I am very thankful of how supportive they have been during the making of my two films.
I also got a new apartment with the Line Producer from A Monster in the Attic and Baker, Bryce Hudson. Now that we are both settled in we are working on the post production, distribution plans, and producers representation that will be needed for both films. Danny and I are in the process of raising additional funds for the remainder of post production and marketing. All of this work feels like the old days of preproduction!
Even though production has ended it is still a long process in order to make sure that A Monster in the Attic will be completed, screened for an audience, and eventually sold.
