  • “It’s rough, raw, unpolished, yet crafted and utterly true."

    —New York Times

  • “Erica Heilman sometimes sounds as if she's calling from a closet in which she has barricaded herself against an intruder.”

    —Chelsea Edgar, Seven Days

  • Rumble Strip feels like an antidote to “For who? For what?”—the rare kind of documentary art that connects and edifies without bumming us out.

    —Sarah Larson, The New Yorker

Erica Heilman invites herself into people’s homes to find out what they know, hate, love, what they’re afraid of, and what makes them more like you than you’d realized. These are messy, obsessively crafted stories of the everyday.
