Eric worked in the 80's as a Cameraman/Editor for Canal Plus and Paris Premiere, both major French TV stations. In 1990, Eric left Paris to travel around the world, and experience new cultures. He ended up in San Francisco 3 years later and decided to make it his home. For the past 15 years, he has worked as a Director, Director of Photography, and Editor on numerous award-winning documentaries, narrative films, music videos, and commercials. He participated in the development of Apple's Final Cut Pro, and has enjoyed teaching Editing at Bay Area Video Coalition, and the Academy of Art University.

This talented Frenchman has a passion for new media, is always willing to integrate intelligent, cutting-edge ideas in his work, and is constantly experimenting with new ways to tell stories through imagery. |
