Lovefilms, love documentaries, and love sports. Here’s Eric. Intensely involved. Hegot his MFA with distinction in Documentary Studies and Production. Sports. Heimmediately noticed my Rutgers hat and a picture on the side of the NY Yankeescelebrating a 2009 playoff win. Sharp, incisive, and all-knowing sports-wise.And his film ‘Blazing a Trail’ is impressive in telling the story of the firstgirls' high school flag football team on Long Island. His intensity carriesover into his vision for a documentary film. He filmed this as essentially aone-person crew. Purist intensity. But he was quick to tell me, it’s the peoplewho make the film. I like that he said, documentaries are the ultimate realityshow. Especially sports. Eric’s youthful exuberance is refreshing. His futureis as illuminating as Blazing a Trail. A very special interview. Great forstudents of film.” Calvin🎙️ 760+ Interviews &Videos📺 9,500+ Subscribers —and growing👉 Please Subscribe:https://www.youtube.com/c/ConversationswithCalvinWetheSpecIEsGLOBAL Reach. Earth Life.
