In 2004, Eric shot and edited the music video "Get Your Dead On" for the band Scum of the Earth, which aired on MTV. In December 2005, Eric moved to the NY area and hit the ground running, shooting and editing for the popular web sitcom, "The Burg".

"Honor in the Valley of Tears" was selected to screen at five film festivals and went on to win two audience awards for best documentary at Dances with Films, and the Louisville International Festival of Film. Eric and producer John A. Ponsoll signed a deal with The Documentary Channel where the film would air for the next two years.
