Hi, I’m Eric — I’m a writer and director based in (usually) Brooklyn, NY.

As a Copywriter / Creative Director, I’ve produced work for some of the biggest brands in the world, ranging from commercials and campaigns to educational video games and — buckle up for this one — kids books.

As a Director, I’ve written and directed commercials, music videos, and independent films, the latter of which have screened at leading festivals in New York City, Los Angeles, London, and Paris. My most recent narrative film — a short, dark comedy called The Clogging — premiered at the 2023 Nightmares Film Festival, where it was nominated for “Best Short Screenplay.”

Before all that, I got my start as a writer / director for digital media outlets like Mashable, GQ, and BuzzFeed.

I love working with teams to use creativity to solve problems — and, of course, make the coolest stuff possible. Please take a look at some of my selected work on this site. I’d love to work together!
