Eric Hunsaker, Filmmaker
ResumeEric Hunsaker

Currently

I run an independent production company, BlackLabFilm+TV.


I've recently completed three full-length documentaries as well as a number of web series, PSAs, commercials and music videos. My goal is to apply that experience to projects that have integrity, stories that need to be told.

Previously

I wrote, produced and directed an episode of Some Assembly Required (Discovery Channel) for HalfYard Productions, Ted Duval series producer.


I produced and directed the reenactment segments on 5 episodes of Conviction (MSNBC) for Sirens Media, Lucilla D'Agostino series producer.


I produced and directed the dramatic segments on 13 episodes of Missing Persons Unit (TruTV) for StoryHouse Productions, Patrick Rogers series producer.


I produced and directed the "Visions" sequences on 13 episodes of Psychic Detectives (CourtTV) for StoryHouse Productions, Anne Garafalo series producer.


Experience

Prior to producing and directing, I spent a decade working on feature films and TV shows, starting as a PA, and locations assistant. I joined the art department, eventually becoming Art Director and Production Designer. The experience was vital in forming my approach to directing-being on set with Stephen Spielberg, James Cameron and Ridely Scott (and many other great directors) shaped my understanding of the craft and practice of filmmaking.
