Working on Re-branding the podcast just wanted to pop on and give ya'll a little update as to what's going on.. I have not left, will be back shortly!

Eric is multi-talented, not only is he currently working in Atlanta as a Union Electrician, he also works as a DP, Camera Operator,  and Gaffer. 
In this episode we get into everything from opinions on schooling what kind of equipment schools offer,  working in NYC, what day playing means, how to secure yourself in a full-time gig - how much personality affects that, and we discuss his personal experience working on his own films.

Some of his credits as an electrician include:

In opening discussion we talk Vanderpump Rules, cancel culture, the music video Rowan and Nicole just worked on  “Everything's Chrome” by King Critical (ft. Key Glock & Duke Deuce).
Rowan and Nicole give Claudia a call on the podcast and discuss her journey into filmmaking coming up as a female Director in reality TV.  We touch on women working in the industry, shifting your perspective to allow you to make jumps, believing in yourself and how having too much information can begin to feel like your biggest enemy.
