Erik Clapp
As the son of a photographer, Erik had a video camera on his back at the age of 15 and never looked back. After graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington, Erik worked at NBC 5 for the legendary reporter Bobbie Wygant in her film and video archives. Clapp then began his career in advertising by writing and directing ADDY award winning commercials for 15 years in the local advertising game. Erik wrote and directed the feature film, “Seventy-8” which premiered at the Hollywood film festival in 2004 and landed world-wide distribution. In 2011 his time-lapse film, “The Fort” became a viral sensation and landed him an American Advertising Award for Best Cinematography. Erik started his own company, EC Films in 2012 to concentrate on documentary and commercial work in the DFW area. In 2020 their documentary, “The Perilous Texas Adventures of Mark Dion” premiered on PBS and Amazon Prime to great reviews. Erik is also involved in cinema preservation and is currently at work on The Bobbie Wygant Archives, which has been featured in documentaries on HBO and CNN.
