How To Find Your Own Creative Style | Erik Rojas (Film Director) Interview
Erik Rojas is a director, creative, and excellent friend. He has directed music videos for artists such as Jessie J, Dillon Francis, Rich Brian, Maisie Peters, Good Charlotte, Chase Atlantic, and so many more.
In this week’s podcast we tell Erik’s story starting from his college days then going to a52/Rock Paper Scissors where he got to work with director Albert Hughes (The Book of Eli, Menace II Society). Then ultimately moving to directing full-time. Erik has been a friend for a long time and I still personally learned so much in this episode. He has an extremely inspiring story and shared so much wisdom for any up and coming film maker.
If you like this one, do us a massive favor and share it with a friend!
