Eric Lin earned an MFA at New York University's Graduate Film Program. MISSING, a short film he shot for director Kit Hui, screened in official competition at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. He also partnered with Hui again to shoot her debut feature film, FOG, in Hong Kong which is currently on the festival circuit, having screened at the Singapore International Film Festival and the Edinburg Film Festival. A narrative feature film Lin shot on the Red, entitled THE EXPLODING GIRL, premiered at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival and played at the Tribeca Film Festival. The Indiewire review wrote: "Eric Lin’s magnificent cinematography seals the deal: Expressive colors and gentle movements become as relevant to thematic construction as the characters themselves." THE EXPLODING GIRL was released theatrically in March by Oscilloscope Laboratories. In addition to finishing shooting UNTITLED HAITI PROJECT, directed by Patricia Benoit, a narrative feature film shot in Haiti and NY, also on the Red, Lin also recently wrapped production on SEMPER FIDEL, a feature film directed by Robert Pietri and shot entirely in Cuba. As a director, his short films have screened at festivals worldwide including New Directors/New Films, Telluride, and Clermont Ferrand. His short documentary, MUSIC PALACE, was nominated for a Student Academy Award and is currently airing on the Independent Film Channel. He was selected to workshop his feature film project, WHY WE PULL THE TRIGGER, at the 2009 Film Independent Directors Lab and is currently developing the film with producer Mynette Louie (CHILDREN OF INVENTION).
