Hello, I'm a passionate 17-year-old filmmaker. I want to express my sincere appreciation for the incredible impact your work has had on me. You have undoubtedly become my greatest mentor on KZread, and I am truly inspired by your work. In just a few of your videos, I have gained more knowledge than I ever thought possible. Thank you for delving deep into the intricacies of filmmaking without oversimplifying it.

Your content has inspired and truly pushed me out of my comfort zone as a videographer/photographer (all in a good way). Thank you for everything you do for filmmakers!

Fellow filmmaker from Chicago - your videos have given me the courage to lean into my style and you've laid out the roadmap, thank you.

I've watched a lot of your videos over the last few years as my wife and I have started our own photography business together. We love how genuine and open Eric is about his life, business, goals, and how he works with his clients. I've learned a lot here! Can't wait to see more!

When fellow filmmakers/videographers come up to me and cringe when I mention myself liking filming weddings, I point them directly to your work. You are the brightest shining example of taking something that may seem trivial to many in our line of work and crafting it into something original and beautiful. I can truly say that without your channel I would have never seen this as a viable and realistic career. But after taking your advice and seeing how far you’ve come, I know that it’s something I can do. Thank you for that.

Filmed my first wedding two weeks ago and i'm editing it now. Spent hours watching your videos on wedding filmmaking before hand in preparation for that. It went way better than expected!

I just love how you handle all so calmly and still so pure of joy. You inspire people Eric!

The way you make your videos is so calming to watch. You give so much great value without taking yourself so seriously, and I enjoy that

I am a photography student, however I learned before I attended any classes through KZread and you were a huge part of that. I want to pursue this as a career and you really inspire me to keep going, I really enjoy your content, aesthetic or style, and I’m just thankful you share your knowledge with us.

As a (very beginner )film photographer I’d definitely say you have given me lots of useful tips to actually explore in this niche. All these you’re doing sincerely to help people like us here is really appreciated. God bless you for your sacrifice.

Really admire the way you guys tell stories, and the way you equip people like myself to make the art we want to, and tell the stories that should be told. Thank y'all!

You’ve been such an impactful creator to me for so so long. I’m so happy you do things like this for us

Lovely initiative, Eric. Giving away tech, knowledge and boosters to help the future generation of filmmakers and photographers grow and evolve in the community alongside the KZread videos you're already making is just about the best thing you can do. Hats off to you for helping out like this!

Aye this is so great would help me create more content tho

I‘m watching you for years now. You‘re such a big inspiration and teacher.

Really love that you're opening up the classroom permanently! You've already taught me a ton just from your YT videos so I'm super interested in learning more with your course!

Love how you give back to this community, Eric! Have honestly learned so much from this channel alone. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

I only recently found your channel a few months ago but you've quickly become one of my favorites. Your videos give so much value I can only imagine what the course helpful info the course would provide. Thanks so much!!

Your willingness to give your time and share knowledge to this community is much appreciated, And your generosity is truly inspiring.

There’s a massive amount of content in this space so finding quality channels like yours is making my day man.

The way you give us the way you receive. Happy that I found your channel! Thank you for providing so much insight on this industry.

Love the way you've been able to bring us along for the journey Eric!

Thanks for being around for so long eric. Been a crazy source of inspiration for my graduation photography (and more)! Please continue doing what you do.

Watching your videos helped me determine whether or not to stay in the military or get out and attempt owning a business in videography/photography. Best decision I've made in a long time. Thanks Eric for the valuable insight you give to your viewers.

This is amazing Eric! I love your approach to “selling” your course. So many out there making promises instead of letting their work speak for itself? Good luck to everyone who enters!

Ever since I’ve discovered your channel, I started to see how business & art can exist peacefully with eachother - which is something I’ve had to struggle with a lot. Your education gave me practical tools and a philosophical lens that works so well with my purpose in life. I want my work to be successful AND meaningful. Thanks so much for existing and being so so generous in sharing what you’ve learned!! It has opened up a path for me and given me alot of relief. You and your team deserve all the good coming to you.

Loved your short film work that I have seen in the past, especially the one about fatherhood. Thanks for all you do!

You are my discovery of the year on KZread, I am captivated by your vibe and the atmosphere you generate, always spinning very well everything you want to show in each video. A hug from Chile, a humble subscriber

Love how you’ve been so helpful to others! You transparency is amazing!

Hi Eric, Im 17 and I started film photography just a few months ago. As a beginner I definetely appreciate your videos and tutorials. Keep making them to inspire more beginners like me. They are truely a treasure!

Eric you are my literal hero. Thank you for helping me see wedding and client videos as storytelling opportunities rather than ways to pay the bills.

Love how your videos feel so genuine and even with a giveaway video you don’t tackle it with any of the KZreadr cliches. Keep doing what you’re doing!

Your wedding films have been a huge inspiration to me over the last couple of years. Thank you for the great content!

I've finally reached a point in my career where I can take MYSELF seriously and I am proud of my work. Just from watching your work I have learned so much to be the best artist and know I can make a living from this. I will forever be supporting you and the peolpe at your studio.

I am so glad I have stumbled across your channel and your work, Eric. I have been watching your videos for a good while- and your channel feels like a big brother, who is telling you about the things you want to know over a dinner table. Thank you so very much for all that you do! I also commented on your 'Maui on film' video, and you replied back!! That felt so nice, too. I'll be right here, waiting for your next vids! Godspeed!

your transparency within the creative industry is so inspiring! You make it seem like anything is in reach. Love all your videos

To be honest, just started watching you an hour ago and 17s into the "filmmaking career" video, I turned on all notifications. Impressive editing and sound. The filming is unreal too.🔥🙏🏽I'l definitely be here for a while.

Truthfully, I just found your channel over the past month but since then I have watched so many of your videos and have been so inspired to get back towards chasing my dream of being a filmmaker. I've settled into a different career path based on necessity but now it is time for me to fully commit to making the career jump.

I’m already apart of the classroom! Everybody run, don’t walk. He’s the best educator I’ve invested in ❤

Been loving the content from your main channel and the running channel! Appreciate the work you put into them!

Long-time follower and fellow Eric. Appreciate the support you give back to the community.

Love what you do man! Learned so much wisdom from you the past few years.

Thank you for your genuine content and please do not give up to continue share more with us (your community) !

Thank you, Eric. You're carving out a path for artists everywhere.

Its truly incredible to have witnessed your journey over the past years and I look forward to every single video, some of the most honest and passionate filmmaking on youtube :)

So so so inspiring going from video to video just learning and getting tips and laughing along the way has been nothing short of amazing. Having burnt out on this creative field, then immediately feeling motivated and fulfilled just from watching these videos is just a testament to how much you care about your work!

Beautifully shot. I love the colorful backgrounds.

Just found your page not too long ago and you are already one of my go to creators to study. Excites me to start mine.

Ever since finding your channel I've been inspired to elevate my wedding photo/video game. Your tips about giving the clients the best possible experience really help!

I like how easy-going you are-like: this stuff is important, but let's not take ourselves too seriously. Fun to watch and to learn.

I've been watching you for ages, since you were a small creator, and it's be incredible and inspiring watching you grow. As someone doing the opposite, moving from a successful commercial video business to trying my hand at KZread, it will be interesting seeing how things go.
