“Afterward,” starring Aaron Eckhart and Terrence Howard and directed by Dito Montiel, is slated to film in the Redwood Region this month.
“Afterward” was first brought to the local film commissioner’s attention in the fall of 2015 under a different title by producers Joe Napolitano and Elizabeth Gast. Inspired by true events in Humboldt County, the film follows a father and daughter whose lives are upended by a tragic car accident. (In October 2008, two men involved in a street race on State Route 299 caused an accident that killed 9-year-old Nicole Quigley and severely injured her mother, Debra. Nicole’s twin sister was unharmed physically.)
“Afterward” depicts a family searching for solace and closure in small town Northern California.
“If this movie helps one person get through personal tragedy or helps someone help others with personal tragedy, then we have done our job,” said Gast. “Events like this not only tear the family apart, but also have a huge impact on the community, especially such a close-knit community like Humboldt County. We felt it was important to shoot the film in the location of Nicole’s family, which may allow the community to have some healing.”
The production is returning to Samoa for the second time after being shut down in March due to the pandemic. The Humboldt-Del Norte Film Commission has been working with the production regarding a safety protocol plan for COVID-19, which involves regular testing (including before they enter the county), personal protective equipment, working pods, shelter in place during off hours, no visitors on set and more.
The film is scheduled to be completed this fall. The producers hope to release the film in 2021 and hold a premiere in Humboldt County post pandemic.
