Eric Castro...."Friends", Music Video
Just a quick look at a music video I shot a few months back. The video was shot on some sort of HD/DV thing. Probably the Sony EX1 if I remember correctly. We used 2 cameras and a lighting package that could fit in the back of a truck.

A Few Years Later
My name is Lauren Hudson and I was one of David Shulman's first screenwriting students during the days of the Media School. I was very blessed by his critique and learned what I know today from him.
I have one screenplay finished and being read by Cloud Ten Pictures in St Catharines, ON, CANADA at the moment.
I am just starting another project called "For The Love of Sadie" a family film about a dog that brings healing out of tragedy.
I have started a business called Lake Serene Studios here in the Lynnwood area. Right now it is just my own writing business and not a full on production studio but that is the goal down the road. I want to be able to produce each of my films here in Northwest as well as other projects.
Eric Castro.........Temp Cinematography Reel
Just like it states.
This is my Temporary Cinematography Reel.
The first part is from the movie Skyler.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1369696/
The movie is still in post and is my first Feature I have shot as a DP. The budget was 40K and we did it in 12 days.
We shot on 2 RED cameras with a full lens Package.(18,25,32,50,85,100,135 iirc)
Eric Castro......Gaffer Reel

So there it is, but lets get into it a little.
There really is no such thing as a "Gaffers Reel".
You hear people ask for it once in awhile. And its usually a good sign that the person is fresh out of film school or worse.

Eric Castro......the cliff notes since 2003 Graduation.
Hello,
I figured this is the easiest way to stop by and say hi. I usually make it back north for the holidays, and always miss you guys since school is out.
Sooooooooo, since 03.
Worked for 2 years in Seattle after graduation.
Moved to Hollywood, or North Hollywood that is.
Worked as a Grip and Electrician on every crappy indie movie that would pay anything, or sometimes just to meet contacts.
Couple years later I am working as a Gaffer along side of Emmy Nominated Cinematographer Sion Michel, ACS.
As Sion started shooting more and more overseas I spent about a year Gaffing for the Hallmark Channel, Spike and Ion, as Well as moving up to B Camera Operator and 2nd Unit DP.
That position put me into contact with Alicia Coppola, (no relation, watch Jericho)

Short 8mm school project to debut at Switzerland film festival 2010
Hello all. Wanted to quickly update you with the latest news in my film journey. One of the short 8mm projects (entitled, "Broken Glass") that I wrote, directed, acted, and edited will be playing next year at the CineGlobe festival in Switzerland! This film was chosen along with a variety of others from around the globe to compete in the festival. There is no prize money for winning, but bragging rights is always a something to envy. I have also submitted the film to this years 2009 Couch Film Festival which is being held in Seattle. Will update on any news that comes my way. Go get 'em!

"The Details and Give Em Hell Malone"
Recently just wrapped up on a new Tobey Maguire film shot here in Seattle entitled "The Details". And before that I did some special effects editing on "Give Em Hell Malone". I am truly greatful for these opportunities I have had this last year to work on three features, and can thank SFI for creating and bringing me into a world I never knew could exist for myself. Keep working at it everyone, film shorts in between features if you still can, keep your contacts from everywhere you go, hold on to that positive fun loving attitude, and work harder than you ever have before.
Thanks, and I will keep in touch with you all,
