Eric Dickson

Youngest of two children to television personality and professional fisherman Don Dickson (Don Dickson's Structure Fishing Challenge), Eric too had the deep desire to one day become a master in his field. At age 17, he began reading several books on the craft of screenwriting which led to several completed feature length scripts in the coming years. By 26 he landed his first big opportunity when he collaborated with actress Nicole Travolta and first time director Charles Hage on the promotional teaser trailer The Utah Murder Project. The screenplay as well as the trailer drew interest from such actors as Amy Smart, Oz Perkins and Jeff Conaway, co-star of the blockbuster hit Grease and close friend of Nicole's Uncle John Travolta. Although the film would eventually fall through due to financing, Eric and Hage would go on to collaborate on the 2007 horror indie Dark Games which featured an all star cast of 80's movie icons. This included Martin Kove, Brian Thompson, Danny Trejo and the return of Jeff Conaway, which marked the second collaboration with director Hage.

In 2011, Eric began his first draft of Niner, a police thriller about a rogue cop charged with the wrongful death of a man he may or may not have thrown from a fourth story balcony.

In 2012, Eric was contacted by graduate student Grant Pichla who expressed serious interest in turning Niner into his feature film debut.

Over the next year, Eric and Pichla worked out the bugs in the script and the project was filmed in late 2013.
