Eric's passion for movies began at a very young age, watching Pinocchio and RKO's original King Kong repeatedly to memorize the dialogue and songs. While attending high school in West Windsor, New Jersey he studied graphic design, motion graphics and video editing, and hosted a daily radio show on local WWPH 107.9 FM. He then went to the University of Miami and graduated with dual degrees in Motion Pictures and Graphic Design/Multimedia. His short film "Longing for Tranquility" won the Best Video Art award at the 2005 UM Art Showcase. He also co-directed "Tear," a short film that premiered at the 2005 Hollywood DV Festival. Eric earned his MFA at USC's School of Cinematic Arts and continues to pursue his passion by directing films, commercials and music videos.
