Synopsis
Taking place over the past 4 years, MY NAME IS ERIC is a documentary about Eric Sanders and the life he's lead up to this point. Eric is a chicken farmer who lives in a small town in Alabama. But this wasn't always the case. He's also been a funeral embalmer. And, before coming to Alabama, he lived in Southern California and hung out with skateboarders and a wild punk rock crowd. So how did he wind up all the way over in Alabama? Well, you're about to find out. With intimate stories and bizarre realities, Eric explains who he is and where he's come from. He shares stories with friends who remember how he came to be known as 'Toast', 'Chicken Farm', and even 'Chicken Trucker' in different parts of the United States. Eric's seen hard times, and he's survived a hard life. Now, as a chicken farmer in Alabama, Eric shares his stories with you. So get ready for a wild ride into the mind of Eric. You're about to go full speed ino a world of rasslin', drugs, skateboarding, women, and hardcore hill-billy country southern rock music. Grab a tamborine and some beef jerky and enjoy the ride.

The World Premiere for this film was last night (July 15th) and it was shown to a packed house of 125 people! Everyone said that it was a great documentary and it really got them to think about who Eric really is. My hope for this film is to make people stop and appreciate Eric as an individual. I will be sending this to film festivals everywhere that it can be submitted, and hopefully I'll be bringing the world of Eric "Chicken Trucker" Sanders to you very soon.
