Director Biography - Erik Vosburgh

Erik Vosburgh is a documentary filmmaker and composer. After studying engineering at North Carolina State University, a right-brained maneuver has sent him on a path towards audio/visual storytelling. His first feature film, 'American Shift', puts this unconventional background to work by recounting a 4,000 mile journey by bike through the wider lens of urban planning and social commentary. In his other roles behind the camera, Erik has composed music for films that have been screened at Cannes film festival and FilmSpark Raleigh, among others.
