Eric Weltner is a writer, director and narrator. His lifelong love of hockey and movies led him to make International Incidents, the result of nine years of research, writing and creativity. Following that project, Eric wrote and directed The Mohawk Monopoly, a feature-length documentary exploring the pure dominance of the Cincinnati Mohawks while an affiliate of the dynastic Montreal Canadiens.
He recently completed a documentary that delves into many of the unknown facets of professional honky tonk musicians' lives. The film is titled Honky Talkin' and features real life stories from real life honky tonkers.
