Even if you are already interested in seeing “Summer Camp” (2024, PG13, 1hr 26 min) because you enjoy comedy, like stars Diane Keaton, Kathy Bates, and Alfre Woodard, or the idea of a movie about summer camp appeals to you, you now have another reason to see it at Harbor Theater starting June 21. The production executive for the film is none other than Boothbay Harbor’s own Nicholas Erickson.
Erickson, who graduated from Boothbay Region High School in 2007, began his obsession with film as a child, was lucky enough to get some early filmmaking experience in high school and with the local channel 7, then completed his BA from Tulane University in communications and digital media production. In 2015, he received his Masters in Producing from the American Film Institute and began his professional media production career which now includes twelve films with associate, co-producer, or producer credits, as well as four other production management roles. “Summer Camp” is probably Nick’s most widely distributed film to date.
