Experience relevant to GEOMEDIA’s business:
Eric McClain was raised in the upper middle class community
of Upper Marlboro in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
This semi-rural town outside the nation’s capitol of
Washington D.C. was comprised of many equestrian centers and
tobacco farms. Growing-up there Eric learned an early and
lasting appreciation for nature, the wilderness and an earnest
work ethic. As an honor student and competitive athlete in
high school Eric developed interests in books on various subjects.
These ranged from archeology to science fiction and action
stories. With this wide and varied interest Eric gravitated
toward print and motion picture media, which to him enabled
one to explore numerous subjects in both the natural and imaginative
world. After graduating from high school Eric immediately
began his studies at Howard University in Washington, D.C.,
majoring in Communications and concentrating his minor studies
on Cultural Anthropology.
It wasn’t long before Eric separated himself from his
peers in the film department. Eric’s high energy and
imaginative film making earned he and his crew top honors
for student film making every year of his enrollment at Howard.
His films are still shown to students today as examples of
film making adeptness using the modest resources available
to students. Upon graduating Eric earned himself a tech-position
at Henninger Media Services. Located in the historic Georgetown
section of Washington, D.C. Henninger exclusively performed
the mastering of the advertisements of Bill Clinton’s
first Presidential election campaign. The company also edited
and color enhanced the award winning National Geographic “Explorer”
television series. Additionally, Eric worked closely with
sensitive government materials gaining security clearances
for the U.S. Govt. and F.B.I.
After several years of working in Georgetown, Eric decided
it was time for him to make the move to Hollywood. In California
Eric has directed the photography of a number of independent
films including “Paper Chasers”, a documentary
about hip-hop entrepreneurs that was shown at the Tribeca
Film Festival and broadcast by The Independent Film Channel.
Eric is currently working as a post-production professional
at The Post Group in Hollywood and works on popular television
shows like Crime Scene Investigation (C.S.I.), House, Numbers
and Law & Order. Eric has also worked on the high-definition
film transfers of the James Bond Collection and the Star Wars
Trilogy.
Eric’s latest endeavors include editing and co-publishing
the Exotic Adventure & Travel magazine. He also enjoys
traveling experiencing different cultures and continues to
maintain an athletic lifestyle via the exciting experiences
of his travels.
