Erik Horn

Directing

Birthplace: Cobble Hill, British Colombia, Canada

Erik Horn, originally from the small town of Cobble Hill, B.C. began taking photographs and making films at a young age. This passion eventually grew to a full time obsession, landing him a scholarship to Vancouver Film School. Once he completed his studies, unable to find work on set, Erik began working different jobs such as a tugboat deckhand, a shipyard labourer, and a hired hand at a cement plant. After a few years found his way onto set as a camera trainee. Erik joined IATSE 669 as a 2nd AC and began working on movies and television, playing close attention to directors such as Nacho Vigalondo, William H. Macy, and Charlotte Sieling. The years of on-set experience provided Erik a great film education, as well as a means to fund his own projects.
