Eric Zhu

Film production professional with hands-on set experience dating back to producing a 20-minute independent film in high school — managing 37 scenes, 10 locations, and a 20-person crew on a tight budget. Since then, I've built a track record of coordinating people, logistics, and finances across student organizations, nonprofit programs, and a self-run video editing business, consistently serving as the point of contact who keeps productions and teams moving. Reliable under pressure, comfortable managing multiple moving parts at once, and energized by being on set rather than behind a desk.
