CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN — WE THE SPECIES

Hosted by Calvin Schwartz

Meet ERIC FELLER. “Getting a chance to interview Eric Fellerfor the Garden State Film Festival was the best of all worlds for me. Lovefilms, love documentaries, and love sports. Here’s Eric. Intensely involved. Hegot his MFA with distinction in Documentary Studies and Production. Sports. Heimmediately noticed my Rutgers hat and a picture on the side of the NY Yankeescelebrating a 2009 playoff win. Sharp, incisive, and all-knowing sports-wise.And his film ‘Blazing a Trail’ is impressive in telling the story of the firstgirls' high school flag football team on Long Island. His intensity carriesover into his vision for a documentary film. He filmed this as essentially aone-person crew. Purist intensity. But he was quick to tell me, it’s the peoplewho make the film. I like that he said, documentaries are the ultimate realityshow. Especially sports. Eric’s youthful exuberance is refreshing. His futureis as illuminating as Blazing a Trail. A very special interview. Great forstudents of film.” Calvin

ERIC FELLER BIO SYNOPSIS

"Blazing A Trail" is a documentary feature filmthat tells the story of the first-ever girls' high school flag football teamfrom the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District in the inaugural seasonof the sport on Long Island during the Spring of 2022.  You can ask me about the origins of the film,my experience working on it as a one-person crew, what impressed me most aboutthe girls taking on a brand-new sport, and what I hope people take away fromthe film.  I think the conversation willflow from these starter questions, which will lead into more points I'd like toaddress.

A brief bio about me: I am a documentary filmmaker whocurrently resides in New York.  I'm a2006 graduate of SUNY Binghamton with a Bachelor of Arts in History, and in2014, I received my Master of Fine Arts with Distinction in Documentary Studiesand Production.  During my career, I'veworked on a variety of documentaries covering many sports, where I most enjoyconnecting with the athletes and the driving force that moves them.  Beyond sports, I've created documentariesabout summer special education programs, and for the past 6 years, I've been aconsulting film editor for Nassau BOCES on Long Island, where I've filmed andedited numerous events and celebrations highlighting the accomplishments ofstudents and educators alike.
