Hi! I’m Eric. From documentaries to commercial work, I enjoy every part of the creative process. Over the last 6 years as an independent filmmaker, I’ve gotten my hands dirty in every facet of the visual storytelling process. Directing, producing, cinematography, editing, I’ve done it all.

I love bringing people’s creative vision to life. Drop me a line!

Cheers - Eric
