Eric Byford
Film Producer
Unionville
A Tennessee native who has grown up in the rock n roll music scene with a family who has owned several venues. I worked for KDF when it was a rock n roll station in marketing and promotions. I went on to become a DJ and club owner before turning my attention to filmmaking.
I graduated from UT Knoxville in 1998 with a degree in BS Communications and Nashville Film Institute with a Film Production degree in 2013.
My first feature film, Straight Up: Kentucky Bourbon, has global distribution through The Orchid.
I have worked on countless music videos, commercials, and short films in a variety of roles from lighting, grip and gaffe, to Director, Producer and writer.
