Conversations with Calcaterra

“You heard of people who are farm strong? You start by picking up a calf every day and then at one day you’ll be picking up a cow.” – Eric Grossman

“A 1000 mile journey starts with one step.” – Eric Grossman

“Eating is one of my joys in life and I’m not going to deprive myself, but I put in the work!” – Eric Grossman

Eric Grossman has always been fit but didn’t really focus his mind on the science of fitness until dealing with some serious pain while on break from touring the world as a musician. He still plays out every now and then but has dedicated his life to helping others achieve their health and wellness goals.

“A large cross represented a person who had died of cancer and a small cross represented those who were battling cancer. There were way to many crosses out there.” – Tony West

“People said you’re a television cameraman, what do you know about nuclear waste. Well I’m learning. You have to learn.” – Tony West

How much industrial waste has been dumped into our environment the past 100 years? Are companies concerned about the well being of their employees or is it all just a facade? These are a few of themes discussed with Tony West, director of the documentary The Safe Side of the Fence. Tony began his film career assisting his 11 year old brother Marlon West who now supervises animation effects for Disney (Moana, Frozen) and when not busy working sports broadcasts Tony is busy touring his film all across the United States.
