When Eric was five, he went over to a friend’s house and starred curiously at a weird, gray gun lying on top of his television: “What does that do?”, he inquired. “That? That is for duck hunting.” his friend replied. A few minutes later, he showed Eric how one duck hunts on a television screen and Eric was floored. Every few years since then, a game will come out that impresses him on the same level that “Duck Hunt” did the first time he ever played a video game. Eric lives for this.

Eric was born in Florida then moved to Northern Alabama shortly thereafter. He grew up teaching himself how to draw and developed a stronger interest in computers as he attempted to make games run better on his old 386. Then, in 1999, Eric had a burst of inspiration– he wanted to make a film. Since then, he’s written several different scripts, went to school to learn art (properly), and computer animation (the chosen medium of his films). Now he is looking for ways to gain solid experience.
