Erica Lang got her start in the industry by volunteering on independent films and commercials in her hometown in Canada. With a growing interest in producing but no real training, she decided to apply for and was accepted into the Producer MFA program at the American Film Institute. Upon graduation, she was hired onto the desk of the co-President and head of the Feature Literary and Production departments at the Gersh Agency. As an assistant there, she expanded her knowledge in areas such as contracts, negotiations and film financing. In order to further her passion for creative development, she made it her priority to read as many incoming scripts as she could. Lang hopes to continue pursuing creative development and eventually, to produce films and head up her own production company.
