Eric Leiser is an American, filmmaker, animator and holographer.
Career
[edit | edit source]Born in California, Leiser earned a bachelor's degree in animation at the California Institute of the Arts[1][2] while developing the stop-motion series Twilight Park.[3] During its conception, Leiser worked props on SpongeBob SquarePants.[4] Leiser's holograms have been shown at a number of galleries.[5][6]
He has made numerous short films, eight of which appear in the DVD release Eclectic Shorts by Eric Leiser, and four features: Faustbook,[citation needed] Imagination,[1] Glitch in the Grid,[7] and Apocalypsis.[8]
Leiser conceived Glitch in the Grid in response to a fallout with a producer over a film Leiser wrote that was set in Iceland.[9] On June 6, 2011, Glitch in the Grid premiered at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.[10]
Leiser's 2016 short film "Anthropic Principle" was included in "Dreamlands: Immersive Cinema and Art, 1905–2016" (October 28, 2016 – February 5, 2017) at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.[11][12][13]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]After Leiser married Jenny Colville on October 31, 2009, he and his wife lived briefly in Hastings, England,[14] and by February 2010 were residing in New York City.[15]
An Orthodox Christian,[1][16] Leiser in 2008 said of his work, "I don't really want to make 'Christian film' necessarily, like the things you find in Christian bookstores. I prefer to explore experimental film techniques that still glorify God without being blatant or preachy. I do like to leave much of the symbolism to the audience's own interpretations."[17]
