Eric Salberg is a Chicago-born director and filmmaker whose storytelling sensibility is shaped by over a decade of experience across nearly every corner of the entertainment industry. A graduate of Columbia College Chicago, Eric came up wearing just about every hat in the business—grip, camera op, AD, art department, production manager, even post—before fully stepping into the director’s chair with a uniquely holistic approach to filmmaking.

His directing credits include the Amazon Prime anthology Dark/Web – Hacked, the stylish psychological short #whoisBeverly, and the indie standout Blurred Lines. Known for a visual flair grounded in emotional tension, Eric’s work often blends dark humor, suspense, and offbeat character dynamics. He has also helmed web content, music videos, and award-winning shorts that have screened across digital platforms.

In addition to directing, Eric has served as a Production Manager and Producer on projects for Netflix (Love Is Blind, Untold: Sign Stealer), HBO Max (Serving the Hamptons), Amazon Prime (SweetHearts, Dark/Web), and Nike (Return to the Game, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Doc), among others. His broad experience across scripted and unscripted formats gives him a rare fluency in both the creative and logistical sides of production.

Eric is currently developing genre-forward narratives and director-driven features with a focus on character, mood, and boundary-pushing themes. Whether behind the camera or running the floor, he brings precision, empathy, and a deep love for the craft of storytelling.
