When I joined the Harbor marketing team last year, this monthly newsletter was a short email update of happenings and recently released projects. Thoughtfully executed, but with its limitations. As our global footprint and staff grew, we wanted the monthly newsletter to grow along with it. We changed course and entered the choppy waters of self-publishing.
I have thoroughly enjoyed playing a small role in connecting the Harbor community and uplifting the hard work and creativity of my comrades.
Now, we push this experiment into its next phase, the Groupe Release, expanding this publication’s community to include all of you.
So welcome. And thank you. By opening this magazine, you’re now a part of this project. Stay a while. Enjoy. Make yourself at home. Read about projects we’ve recently worked on, some recent headlines, what we’re listening to, and take a deep dive into the finishing process for recently released Horror films (Goodnight Mommy, The Curse of Bridge Hollow, Halloween Ends, Bodies, Bodies, Bodies) from the artists who brought the thrills to life.
If you’re still with me, maybe you want to contribute. And I want to nurture that desire. This magazine would be nothing without our staff contributions. So, any contribution – a long feature on the state of the industry or a doodle of your dog on a receipt – send it my way. We strive every day to put art on a pedestal, and yours is no exception.
Before I release you to peruse the beautifully laid out pieces included within, I would be remiss not to acknowledge and thank the woman who supported me and trusted me with this brand. This is for Gabriela Elder. I couldn’t possibly sum up everything you’ve done for me, so I’ll just say, Gaby, thank you for guiding us through the storm to a safe Harbor.
