If Eric was to put his best foot forward, it would unquestionably be his direct-to-video documentary “D-Day: Plus Fifty”, the initial release in CBC News Interactive’s library. This 60 minute special, hosted by Knowlton Nash, was not only critically acclaimed but went on to be nominated for a CBC President’s Award and an international Special Interest Video Association Award.
When a director approached him with a fully shot movie called “Blood on the Moon” that was deemed “virtually uneditable”, Eric turned to his unparalleled skills to complete the movie by adding additional sound effects, music and a few tricks up his sleeve. The result was a compelling and artful tale which went on to win two Geminis, one for the director and another for the cinematographer.
Eric also had the pleasure of editing three documentaries for the Royal Ontario Museum in conjunction with the renovation of the Asian Galleries. One day while working, Eric thought that a series like this would benefit smaller, lesser-known museums and possibly increase their revenue. With that simple thought, Museum Pieces was born. And then it grew into what it is today.
Always drawn back to editing, he was senior editor on the Accessible Media series Accessibility in Action, a half-hour information/talk show, for two years. He also edited the movie Deadly Inferno for Silhouette Media Group, and the 2018 reimagining of the 2000 TV series Starhunter Redux for Amazon Prime.
