Autumn Days are Here Again



And we're back.  Happy October, everyone!  What an incredible year it has been.  Professionally, creatively and personally, we have had a year filled with unforgettable experiences and opportunities, and we'd like to share them with you.

We'll start with the news closest to our hearts.  As many of you know, we welcomed our newest Erickson family member since we posted last.  We are proud to share that we have a beautiful, smart and energetic son who turns one later this week.  Beckett has been keeping us on our toes and ultimately, making us better producers.  You parents out there know what we are talking about.  Now that we are approaching his first birthday, we are coming up for air and finding ways to get back to a more normal production schedule.

Both Daniel and Brigitte have had opportunities to work on projects large and small this year.  Daniel wrapped work on "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2", which recently arrived in theaters.  He worked on the Final Layout team and can attest that the movie is funny and a must-see for kids and adults alike.  Brigitte has been working on a new television comedy called "Enlisted" that will premiere on Fox in January.  She is working for an amazing team and has really enjoyed the experience.

Tower 26 Films has continued to develop projects as well.  We are very excited about the progress we have made on our biggest film to date, "Project Forty".  Many of you have been direct supporters of this labor of love and we are enjoying the journey of crafting this experimental science fiction film.  Now that we are beyond the earliest stages of parenthood, we will be able to give P40 more of our focus.  While Brigitte was pregnant, we decided to shoot a short comedy written by Brigitte called, "Visiting Day", which is currently in post-production.  Brigitte stars alongside the very talented Jim McCaffree and our son Beckett makes an appearance in utero.  We are looking forward to showing you more on that soon.

Thanks to all of our clients, friends and supporters for your words of encouragement as we became new parents.  Our son certainly inspires us each day!  We're glad to be back in touch and we'll have more updates for you all soon.

Cheers!
Brigitte, Daniel and Beckett
