"It's a great career - IF you make it. Anything less is terrible. It's a very unhealthy industry powered by intense greed and artistic sterility. Observe how moronically hard it is for anyone to get a project done. I've never seen anything so ridiculous. My advice is to avoid it unless you have a total compulsion to make movies and unless you're very lucky, you're in for a rough time of it." - Woody Allen

RFC 005 - "ASK AND ANSWER"

Eric's short-form filmmaking debut concerns the tale of Ms. Eleanor Thang, so determined to get to Austria-Hungary for her "big break" that she's willing to take a chance on the questionably-legitimate "Passports Made E-Z," run by none other than Pete Mesquite, a "Western treat" who always wanted to be a fashion photog. Featuring Bryan Dominik and Meghan Lamb. Written, directed, photographed and edited by Eric Condon, continuity by John Gahan. February 2005, Color, mini-DV. 6 minutes.

RFC 009 - "TWO GUYS AND ONE BLUE BALL"
This oddly titled piece, easily RFC's most visually striking work, hinges on the interaction between one guy and the aforementioned blue ball, a stop-motion wonder that comes looking for drinking company and winds up wreaking havoc upon the WKU campus, culminating in a display of primal horror never before seen in Bowling Green.
