Producer Erica Harrell World Premiere in China

Danny Daneau
Director

Shanghai PosterThe team here at theatticdoormovie.com would like to congratulate our producer, Erica Harrell, who will be world premiering her other feature, ACTS OF MERCY at the Shanghai International Film Festival next week. Shanghai, with it’s corresponding film market, has been described as the “Cannes of Asia” and it is truly an honor to be invited to play in the International Panorama.

ACTS OF MERCY was also directed by my future wife, Laura Lopez. We both wrote, produced, and post produced our films together while attending the University of Central Florida’s Entrepreneurial Digital Cinema, Master of Fine Arts program. Working in those tight spaces had it’s affect on us, and we are to be married this Summer in her home country, Ecaudor!

Paying homage to classic noir films and thrillers, ACTS OF MERCY unveils the story of young nurse Maggie Collins as she begins caring for the charming but forgotten residents of Moss Oak Manor nursing home. Slowly, Maggie finds herself on an ethical minefield where good intentions turn into ambition, and mercy finds its way into murder. The film stars Tony and Emmy nominated actress, Tovah Feldshuh and upcoming star of Martin Scorsese’s Boardwalk Empire, Aleksa Paladino.

Once again, congratulations Laura and Erica.

Late Night DVD Testing

Erica Harrell
Producer

Sometimes its funny what my job as a producer entails. For instance, we have stumbled upon a batch of bad burned DVDs which means that every single DVD we now have cannot just be sent out even if it plays perfectly well in our Macs. Danny discovered the bad DVDs last week after he sent me a few.
He insisted I test each and every DVD in a real DVD player before sending out the movie to festivals as a screener. For me finding the time to sit in front of a tv and make sure a DVD is playing properly is really hard to do. However, tonight after working for 13 hours, my wonderful cousin Charlie randomly showed up at my apartment with a pizza and plenty of time to kill.

Bryce and I decided this was a good opportunity to show him, and our house guest Nick, the film. Having an audience experience something that you have worked so hard on really brings back the nostalgia of production. Like Jackie Rife (our biggest local Kanab, Utah supporter and former stunt woman) said, that red dirt is in my blood and I really miss Utah right now.

Even Bryce, who is usually nonchalant about his involvement in the film loves telling people about how he climbed up on that ladder and built that windmill. His new addition to that story is … “look it made it into the poster obviously it is important”.

I am happy to report that the DVD worked perfectly fine and I will be sending it out tomorrow to a lucky sales company. :)

Take Care!
