"Where did they get all the trailers? How much money did they have to raise to get them?"Again I turned to the trusty coordinating producer behind "Trailerpark," Conor Hogan. His response:
"The trailers cost over 1/5th of our entire budget* - and that, in turn, lead to a lot of commotion when we began the project - so, it was wonderful that Andrew Heaberlin, one of the supervising producers working alongside me, was able to work with Jay Elsea and come up a reasonable way for us to make the film and use his trailers as well!"So who is this Jay Elsea and why does he have so many trailers, you ask with furrowed brows? OU alum Jay Elsea is the president of Elsea Homes in Circleville, Ohio. He sold the "Trailerpark" team the nine trailers (eight for the set, one for burning) used in the film's production at a discounted rate.
*Please note that the film's original estimated budget was $45,000, according to the press packet found on the "Trailerpark" site.
Jill- I just remembered that my good friend and fellow PR major, Ali Myers, is doing the publicity for the movie! Small world :)
