About me

I am a tall ginger from a small town in Colorado, I moved to Los Angeles, CA to pursue filmmaking at Art Center, Pasadena, graduating with a BFA in film. I have worked on large-scale, social media ads, food cooking shows, live FB feeds and National TV ads in the UK and LA. I am London based now and looking forward to showing you my skills in lighting, cinematography, camera movement and creating stunning visuals. Cheers, Eric
