Eric Vaughn Crumley is a first-time filmmaker but grew up with a great love for the classics. He is from southern California and at thirty years old he has attempted to make the most of what life has given him and give a little back as well. He studies both History and Theatre at Cal Poly Pomona University, and plans to be a teacher as well as future creator.
This is my very first film. It was an assignment for my filmmaking class at Cal Poly Pomona University. It took months of frustrations, planning, re-planning, private research, and sleepless nights, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I could not have made this without the help of my professor Paul Barron, the Cal Poly Theatre Department, my family, church, friends, and my best friend, Richard Burdett.
