Biography

Eric Alan Donaldson is a Los Angeles, California based Producer. He had his first experience on the set at the age of four when he appeared on the popular kids' TV program, "Romper Room." He later directed, produced and edited his first music video as a junior in high school.

Donaldson's professional career in production spans nearly 20 years. His first job was as a film runner, driving film dailies to and from the studios. The subsequent years he held a variety below-the-line positions from Grip, to Camera, to Editor, eventually working his way up to Producer, and later, Executive Producer at Los Angeles based FXF Productions.

Donaldson has a keen ability to seek out emerging markets and new technologies. Before the crazy antics of Jackass and before Extreme Sports became a household name, he combined the two genres and created not only a popular DVD series, All My Crazy Friends, but connected a web of domestic and international distributors to sell it. Now, Extreme Sports content is everywhere. It was also at this time (1995) that Donaldson first embraced Digital Technology, enabling him to produce high-quality products at a fraction of the cost.

Donaldson has directed, produced and/or edited a variety of content, from commercials to documentaries. And from music videos to feature films. He has worked on advertising and marketing campaigns for Volkswagen, Philips, Activision, Purina, Nike, Red Bull, and Sea-Doo. From 2005 - 2007 he produced 44 episodes of the popular Docu-TV action sports show "GRR-TV" for The Outdoor Channel. The show currently airs on MavTV (2015).

Donaldson launched advertising and marketing production/post house, NINETEEN87..., in 2013.

On the film festival circuit, Donaldson has had wins with both Documentaries and Narratives, and his recent launch into feature films is the next wide-open chapter in his career.
