Directing
Eric Casaccio is an actor, writer, producer, and director whose career spans performance, casting, and independent filmmaking. He began in Boston’s regional theatre and independent film scene, while also working with Boston Casting to recruit talent for commercials, industrials, theatre, and film. His early behind-the-scenes experience in casting and production laid the foundation for a multifaceted career in entertainment.
In 1997, Eric relocated to Los Angeles to pursue acting and screenwriting. There, he wrote his first feature screenplay, "David’s Walls," and went on to produce an experimental companion music video inspired by the script. The project screened at festivals nationwide, marking his emergence as a bold, self-producing storyteller committed to bringing his own work to life.
Among his proudest achievements is the staged charity production of his screenplay, "Psychic Glitter," which raised nearly $2,000 for The Trevor Project in honor of Lawrence King. Eric wrote, produced, co-directed, and performed in the production, using art as activism to honor a life lost to anti-LGBTQ violence.
His award-winning short films "Freak" and "Narcissist" (2011–2016) garnered acclaim on the international festival circuit, resonating with mainstream and LGBTQ audiences alike. Both projects secured worldwide on-demand distribution through IndieFlix, Dekkoo, Revry, Fearless, and Amazon Prime Video in select territories.
Eric holds a Bachelor of Arts with honors from Roger Williams University and studied abroad with the London Theatre Program. He has trained at the Michael Chekhov Connection and continues to appear in award-winning independent films.
Most recently, his feature screenplay, "Twin Flames," and short, "Always Love," have placed as quarterfinalists, semifinalists, and finalists in multiple screenwriting competitions. In 2022, he received a Best Actor nomination at the Dunedin International Film Festival for his leading performance in "My Sick Love."
