On this episode of the Cinema Flow Podcast, host Zack Abdulbaki sits down with actor, writer, filmmaker, and all-around creative force Eric Toms.

Eric takes us back to the very beginning, sharing his experience as a stand-up comedian, including unforgettable experiences touring the world and opening for comedy legends like Norm Macdonald, Tracy Morgan, and Lewis Black.

The conversation also explores Eric's work in television, including Reality Binge, his love for sketch comedy, and the podcast "Making Movies Is Hard" which he produces. Eric also chats with us about his debut play My Dad's Kid which premiered at the Beverly Hills Playhouse, a hilarious and heartfelt story about family, rivalry, and long-buried secrets.

Plus, Eric shares how he got into photography, the origins of Night of Shorts Night, and his passion for championing short filmmakers, where he and Zack first crossed paths.

It's a wide-ranging, funny, and insightful conversation about creativity, persistence, and carving your own lane in the film industry.
