Producer

This summer on my first two feature films I met many incredible people who I will be friends with for a long time. Part of filmmaking is building relationships with other people in the industry. Danny and myself have an amazing relationship both professional and personal. My other director, Laura Lopez and I have been close friends for several years now and I will work with both of them again in the near future. One person in particular from this summer, I would love to work with again as she is one of the most amazing talented people I have ever met. Aleksa Palladino, came all the way from LA to Florida, in the summer, to star in my other feature Baker. Aleksa plays a young nurse Maggie Collins who thinks she has found a mentor in Nurse Baker, but she really discovers the dark side of compassion. Aleksa became fast friends with Laura and I and we soon discovered that she has her own indie band with her husband Devon Church, called EXITMUSIC.

EXITMUSIC is described as:
Exit Music Band“At once apocalyptic and hopeful, the emotional impact recalls bands like sigur ros while tapping into the old soul of American music from Bob Dylan to Billie Holiday. Thoughtful, arresting vocals are embedded in lush, evocative instrumentation.”
Aleksa and Devon have just released their first album called, The Decline of the West. Their album can be purchased here.

Independent Filmmakers and Independent Bands share many similarities when is comes to getting the word out there about their films and music, respectively. This blog is a way for the A Monster in the Attic team to get the word out about our film as well as to share our knowledge of filmmaking. Check out Aleksa and Devon’s band and support Indie Music!!!
