ERIC WEBER - FOUNDER & PRESIDENT

Filmmaking is really Eric’s third career, as he rose to the top of the literary and advertising ladders before stepping behind the camera.

Fresh out of NYU, at the age of twenty-four, Eric penned the seminal guide "How to Pick Up Girls," which soon took off and sold over three million copies, inspiring numerous imitators - as well as an ABC adaptation in 1978.

While actively publishing books through his company, Symphony Press, Eric moved to Young & Rubicam where he conceived of iconic campaigns such as "Be A Pepper" for Dr. Pepper, and and "Betcha Bite a Chip" for Chips Ahoy. Eric's advertising work gained him numerous accolades, including a Gold and Silver Lion at Cannes. He ascended the ranks at Y & R, becoming Executive Creative Director and Executive Vice Chairman.

Eric founded TFC in 1996 and his four directorial efforts have placed in festivals including Sundance, Slamdance, SXSW, Rhode Island and more. Eric is a rarity among filmmakers: a true triple threat with business acumen to stay on time and under budget, literary experience to churn out top-tier screenplays, and directorial chops to attract and bring out acclaimed performances in A-list actors.
