Bio

Filmmaker: director, writer, editor

An amateur filmmaker as a child, Byron Conrad Erwin moved several times growing up and spent part of his youth in Virginia.  A highly praised television film, Inside Job (1989), brought him the opportunity to work with such prestigious clients as National Geographic Television and Discovery Channel. He then moved to Charleston and became one of the most successful television commercial directors for Comcast in the late 1990s.

His films have explored primeval fears, as in Cardboard Castles (2011), or expressed hope and faith, as in Tiger Lily (2011). Erwin is in development of his most ambitious project yet, The Dreamed (2012), a film about the amazing world of Lucid Dreaming.

In 2006 he completed the gritty cult hit film Lynch Mob, a project written and produced by Scott Stamper for First Cinema. Later films include the critically acclaimed Lure (2009). He also served as director and co-producer for a series of shorts for  Blank Stage Productions Poor Boy (2010) and Jersey Shark (2010).

Erwin has received many honors during his career and often appears as a guest speaker at many Film Schools and regularly performs as a judge for Actor Showcases across the country.
