Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Los Angeles

Terri is a 2011 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film directed by Azazel Jacobs from a screenplay by Patrick deWitt, based on a story by deWitt and Jacobs. It stars Jacob Wysocki in the title role, with Creed Bratton, Olivia Crocicchia, Bridger Zadina, and John C. Reilly in supporting roles. It revolves around an oversized teen misfit who strikes up a friendship with his garrulous but well-meaning vice-principal.

Production

The idea for Terri was conceived by Patrick deWitt in 2008, and the first pages of the screenplay were sent to Azazel Jacobs in early 2010. Jacobs received a "story by" credit, saying:

I had the full intention of being a co-writer, but after the story was developed and Pat started to send me pages, I soon saw there was not much for me to do other than slight edits and sequencing suggestions. After the first draft was completed it was very clear that it really came from him, and I pulled my [screenplay] credit.

Principal photography took place in Altadena and San Gabriel, California. Made for under $2 million, the film was shot in 23 days in June 2010.
