Eric Bair
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, writer/director Eric Bair found his passion for storytelling and filmmaking at a young age when he saw one of his favorite films, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit". Once he got his hands on his first camera in High School, he took his passion further by producing films with his friends that ranged from comedies to action to horror. After graduating from Archbishop Mitty High School, he attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco to hone and advance his skills as a filmmaker. During his years of study, he created numerous short films including his senior thesis project, "Living Dreams". This film brought his first award win for Best Director at the Academy of Art Filmfest and he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Motion Picture & Television Degree in Directing. That summer, he traveled to Southern California to further pursue his career with the creation of multiple spec commercials including the top ten winning "Dibs, too Good to Gamble" and filmed two back to back award winning short films: the horror, "Derelict Abyss" and the comedy, "Male Order Bride".
