ERIC ALAN EDWARDS |
Born: 10 August 1953, Portland, Oregon, USA.
Education: Catlin Gabel School, Portland [graduated in 1971]; Rhode Island School of Design [BFA in 1975].
'Eric ['71] loved photography and art while he was at Catlin Gabel. He and his good friend Gus Van Sant ['71] had the freedom to take over a room in the art department and produce screenprints together, including an eight-page centerfold for their yearbook. They did several short films together, including a 20-minute short for Winterim. Eric and Gus both went on to the Rhode Island School of Design, and after two years in photography Eric joined Gus in the film department. "My interest in film had something to do with my interest in cameras: I liked the mechanical as much as the aesthetic aspect," says Eric. "And I remember Gus and me sitting in a cinema in Providence watching 'A Clockwork Orange' and 'Mean Streets'. In the early '70s we watched lots of European films and cinema vérité and witnessed the greatest cinema you could look at. My attention to lighting and photography came from the Europeans."' [Nadine Fiedler, 2011].
Career: His relationship with dir Gus Van Sant dates back to his high-school days.
Ph numerous music videos with a: Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, a.o.
Awards: Independent Spirit Award nom [1992; shared] for 'My Own Private Idaho'.
