Jessica
Biel‘s
career
wasn’t
always
so
sweet.
The
7th
Heaven
alum
reflected
on
the
reality
of
co-founding
her
production
company
Iron
Ocean
Studios,
and
the
moment
she
always
called
it
quits.
“Doors
did
not
open
at
all,
even
being
in
the
business
for
so
long,”
Jessica
admitted
on
the
May
15
episode
of
The
Bright
Side
podcast. “I’ve
had
this
production
company
with
my
partner,
Michelle
Purple,
for
20
years.
I
started
it
with
her
when
I
was
22
and
for
the
first
10
years,
we
had
almost
no
success
at
all.”
The
duo
had
made
a
short
and
full-length
feature
film,
neither
of
which
were
picked
up.
It
wasn’t
until
The
Sinner—which
aired
on
the
USA
Network
in
2017
and
ran
for
four
seasons—that
the
company
saw
some
success.
“When
we
were
actually
selling
that
show,
Michelle
and
I
looked
at
each
other
and
she
said, ‘If
we
don’t
sell
this
show,
I’m
quitting,'”
Jessica
revealed. “I
said, ‘Me
too,
I’m
quitting.
I’m
not
doing
this.
I
don’t
know—if
this
show
doesn’t
sell,
I
don’t
know
what
people
want,
I
don’t
know
what
to
bring
them.
I
don’t
understand
this
business
anymore.
I
just
don’t
get
it
anymore.'”
