Erica McCarthy Erica McCarthy is an accidental Southerner. Born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1965, she moved with her family to Athens, Georgia when she was 8. As a high school foreign exchange student in Copenhagen, Denmark, she immersed herself in film studies at the Danish Film Institute. Returning to the United States, she attended the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications, where in 1988 her project People Who Live To Dance, was nominated for a Student Academy Award.
That same year, she formed Nowhere Productions in Athens, Georgia in order to pursue her passion for personality-driven documentary filmmaking with a distinctively Southern flavor. Nowhere Productions is a full-service production house based in Athens, Georgia with a satellite office in Austin, Texas. Nowhere Productions has provided production services for the jumbotron during home football games "between the hedges" at the University's historic Sanford Stadium. McCarthy created the UgaCam, a video camera mounted on the collar of Uga, Georgia's world-famous bulldog mascot. In 2004, Erica completed her first feature documentary, Damn Good Dog, which toured film festivals in 2005. Currently, McCarthy is producing The Beach Lady, a personality driven documentary about a woman who fought to save the history and land of her people in American Beach, Florida.
