About Eric
Once upon a time, Eric was a pre-med student at Columbia University. Two months of medical school popped the illusion and he submitted wholeheartedly to his lifelong need to thrive deeply in creative visual storytelling.
"My goal is to release the inherent wonder, aliveness, and memorability of your story."

His family roots in France, Eric is bilingual in French and has traveled extensively since childhood, soaking in the world's art and cultural diversity. He is also an occasional director, a Certified Natural Chef and a mentor for kids who don't feel at home in the odd realm of school.
"My professional driving force is to mentor new independent filmmakers — my job is to help you keep the ball rolling smoothly and to make you SHINE!"
At an early age, my parents exposed me to the works of great narrative directors, including Hal Ashby, Lina Wertmüller, and François Truffaut.
A New Jersey transplant to California where I live with my wife in the Bay Area, I have worked in broadcast production and postproduction since 1990. My work has aired on the Super Bowl and around the globe, in collaboration with such talents as Will Ferrell, Usain Bolt, Dick Cavett, Lauren Bacall, and Paul Simon.
Nuance of character, storytelling rhythm — that's where the magic lies!
