Biography:
After spending his childhood in Oklahoma making animated short films, Eric McEver relocated to Tokyo during college to pursue his passion for Japanese fantasy cinema. While working in various roles as a theater actor, translator, game developer, and animation producer, he developed an offbeat cinematic vision fusing the languages and idiosyncrasies of his two homes. Eric's passion for anime and tokusatsu inspired his semi-autobiographical feature directorial debut "Iké Boys." A mixture of live action, animation, and tokusatsu effects, the film premiered at Fantastic Fest and later screened at other festivals, including the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival.
