ABOUT THE CREATOR...

John (Eric) Sandoval was born and raised in Sterling, Illinois where he grew up playing music since the age of four, and can play the piano, violin, guitar, bass, mandolin, and percussion. After a stint in the Navy, he went back home to go to school, where he majored in music. He formed a local improv comedy troupe with a number of fellow students and together they managed to talk a local venue owner into letting them make a nightly show in the large dance hall on the top floor of his establishment. Eric originally moved to Los Angeles with plans on becoming a musician in 1996, but he realized that despite his love of music, his true talent was in speaking and the written word, so he began to pursue screenwriting and even had a feature script that he co-wrote, titled Fabulous, get optioned in early 2008, but it never got made. This commonly experienced moment that many writers experience at some point or another, awoke a deep awareness and conviction within him that he carries with him to this day. "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself, and though it may be the writer's story, and the director's vision, but it's the producer's product." Today Eric Sandoval is married to artist and designer Akane Aikawa, with whom he works currently doing editing work such as actors reels, and sizzle reels for film, television, and internet projects. He has worked with companies such as Paramount Interactive, Facebook, and Hook Mobile. Currently Eric works as a casting consultant and editing assitant with Proximity L.A., a post-production studio in West Hollywood.
