Co-founder and president of New York VFX studio Mr. X Gotham, Eric J.
Robertson has supervised and produced visual effects for over 50
feature films. During his career, Eric has worked with some of film's
most respected directors including Ron Howard, Jonathan Demme, Sam
Mendes, Joel and Ethan Cohen, Jim Jarmusch and Charlie Kaufman.
With a career that has spanned all genres, Eric enabled Sacha Baron
Cohen's General Alladeen to walk a tightrope high above midtown New
York; he transformed Philip Seymour Hoffman's vision into a vast
warehouse that enclosed the entire island of Manhattan, and convinced
moviegoers that they are watching Richard Nixon's confessions in real
time. Eric's creations go from exhilarating and hilarious, to emotional
and engaging. All with the visual effects integrated seamlessly with
the storyteller's vision.
Eric is an accomplished photographer and cinematographer whose 20+
years of experience in production gives him a storyteller's eye along
with the technical skills that encompass all aspects of the filmmaking
process from script to screen. Eric was instrumental in expanding the
V.E.S. into a NYC section and served as its first secretary /
treasurer. He is a member of IATSE Local 600.
Eric lives in Brooklyn, has too many bikes, and is a clumsy yet
aspiring surfer.
