• Videography

    Full service video production for small and mid-range projects. Generally includes consultation during preproduction, filming services and equipment provision, then postproduction and delivery of a finished video or series of videos.

    For larger projects, I’m a founding member of Seize the Means, a filmmaker collective unionized under agreement with the ACWU. Together we take on projects that are beyond the scope of a single freelancer, and have access to a wide pool of professional expertise.

  • Cinematography

    On larger and better-resourced projects, I’m available for hire as a cinematographer. I specialize in documentary and verité style shooting, and come equipped with camera, lenses, and lighting equipment.

    As a cinematographer, films I’ve shot have screened at festivals around the world, including at Hot Docs in Toronto and the Leeds International Film Festival in the UK.

Eric Sanderson is a maker of documentary films and videos based in Vancouver, BC. He produces, directs, and shoots short and medium-length documentaries and advocacy videos for a variety of clients.

Projects he’s directed have screened at film festivals both locally and internationally, including Hot Docs in Toronto and DOXA in Vancouver. His work as a cinematographer has been shown at Oscar-qualifying international festivals and reviewed in Wired and the New York Times.

Eric is interested in projects that explore worlds outside of the mainstream, and the intersection of radical advocacy and mainstream accessibility. His style of shooting and directing emphasizes verité storytelling, with a preference for open spaces, long takes, and working with people who respect the storytelling power of a carefully-crafted image. 

Eric prides himself in taking time to listen and reflect on how he can best support his clients' and subjects’ stories.  Documentary film as a medium is uniquely positioned to interject a dose of empathy into our understanding of the world around us, and he is grateful for the opportunity to be a part of projects that foster and uplift this process.
