Eric is currently in pre-production for his next short Anneal and writing a feature. Through his work, he gravitates toward exploring the complexities of relationships and family dynamics. His latest short Intake was a Vimeo Staff Pick. It was selected for its online premiere by FilmShortage, Beyond the Short and BOOOOOOOM.
Eric currently freelances for Team Coco and SiriusXM as a video editor. He has worked directly with Mike Sweeney and edited one of Conan O’Brien’s latest remote shoot.
His work won the College Television's Loreen Arbus Focus on Disability Award, and has been recognized by the Student Academy Awards and BAFTA US Student Short Film Awards. His writing has been acknowledged by the Sundance New Voices Writing Lab, where he made it to the 2nd round.
Eric lives between Brooklyn & Los Angeles and when he’s not there, he’s with his travel-obsessed girlfriend somewhere across the globe!
