I have been learning production on and off for a few years now, and tried self-producing a few short films but work and school controlled everybody's schedule and they weren't on my same level of passion. I have been learning more hands-off by background acting and studying what everybody does on set. I'm ready to start learning more about directing for the betterment of my career, but I would also prefer to play my supporting character, Theo. I would like to be the assistant director so I can learn more in the beginning of my career. I would like to be a part of everything else that is important so that I can learn more in every aspect. I would also like to consider making this a much longer movie which tells a lot of stories, but I know that people prefer the shorter hour and a half movies nowadays. However we can expand more on Chloe, the female lead, and tell more of what she is experiencing in her mind and emotions. I am also open to any and all suggestions to make this amazing idea into an Academy Award winning movie that sweeps all of the main award shows for Hollywood. I definitely need help from the right people, and I am ready to collaborate.

Erich has been dabbling in stand-up comedy for several years but depression kept him flying low, performing in front of crowds of drug addicts, at personal parties ranging from three to forty people, and at larger community center venues in front of 400+ people. He began telling jokes to his mother, at age seven, to help cheer her up while she struggled with depression and an angry marriage built on a lie; nine years later and she was free of depression, but it had only transferred to Erich. Growing up Erich was bullied for a speech impediment that he overcame by acting and speaking along with legendary character Actors of the Entertainment Industry, he gained the ability to speak perfectly with several funny and serious original characters that are ready to be shared, and mixed in with too many personal life problems to count Erich certainly knows how to relate to every story. He has overcome a drug-fueled depression after graduating college without the help of a therapist and has a true appreciation towards working for a better World, everybody in it, and his brighter future because he is definitely a team player, and loves to listen to everybody's view, but ultimately, he is just a person who can relate with anybody because he has seen enough to understand life from both the poor and rich views. He is fairly new in starting his journey in the Entertainment Industry in Los Angeles, but he is finally here and learning something new every day, while also working on his own website, real estate, online marketing firm, and local advertising agency - Erich is a real hard working entrepreneur and he would love to be considered a good guy in this World, though his writing is sometimes dark it only enhances the beauty of life and he could use help sharing his ideas because his main loving passion is making movies and TV shows while also working on writing his scripts into books as well; thank you!
