Eric Snyder began his career in storytelling as a boy in West Virginia, entertaining his family with humorous plays created on a Sears cassette recorder.  While in high school, he started working for a small independent television station.  After eight years there, Eric left his position as Production Manager and spent the next two years as a television news editor/photographer in the Tampa Bay area.  In 1992, as Director of Production, he helped Lowell “Bud” Paxson launch a television service, which would eventually become PAX TV.  In 1997 Eric became the Vice President of Programming for ETC, Entertainment That Counts, an independent late night programming service for PAX TV.  In anticipation of digital multicasting, Eric traveled extensively looking for programming, meeting independent TV producers from around the globe.  In 1999, however, he met Sundance lecturer and Script Doctor, Bart Gavigan, from London, England.  For the next two years Eric immersed himself, under Gavigan’s guidance, in the study of screenwriting and story structure.  In 2001 he left his television management position, and returned to his boyhood calling as a full-time storyteller.  Since then he has completed several projects including: 

• Completed script for Freedom 400, a comedy based on a teenage boy’s telethon experiences at a small Appalachian TV station.
