My name is Eric Mathew Colton and I balance a hectic life between theater and film. Currently I am pursuing my bachelors degree in Film and TV in Philadelphia. Having a background in both has made me a strong director in both mediums. Professionally I have worked on two seasons of American Idol, 100+ episodes of Entertainment Tonight/ The Insider, as well as everything from presidential debates to award shows. Most recently after performing in numerous MTI shows, I directed my first. EDGES was a phenomenal experience for me professionally and creatively. In the words of the show it taught me "who I am and who I want to become."
