Eric Carter
AUTHOR & PRODUCER
Eric is a retired physician and scientist now able to reflect more deeply on aspects of history that has shaped the evolution of his family. Born in the aftermath of the Second World War, a momentous time for his family in Europe, Eric has come to appreciate the importance of George Santayana's quote: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".
Together with his eldest son, Daniel, an accomplished cinematographer and filmmaker, they set out to explore a 12 month period in 1944 and 1945 which would have a profound impact on their family. Documenting this period and the events that led to it is essential to ensure that the past is not forgotten and that the lessons learned can be used to inspire not only Eric's family but also to enlighten many others.
Eric and Frances, his lifelong partner, live in New York with their dog Maya, close to their children and grandchildren.
DIRECTOR / CINEMATOGRAPHY
Daniel Carter is a New York–based, Emmy Award–winning cinematographer whose visionary lens has shaped some of the most deeply human and socially resonant documentaries of recent years. His more recent work includes Victoria Beckham (2025, Netflix); Rebel Royals: An Unlikely Love Story (2025, Netflix); The Dynasty: New England Patriots (2024, Apple TV+); Choir (2024, Disney+); 399: Queen of the Tetons (2024); We Are: The Brooklyn Saints (2021); and Jane Goodall: The Hope (2020)
Daniel’s portfolio is threaded with a keen eye for observation and connection, steeped in empathy, and a visual language that honors both individual inner worlds and broader societal dynamics. His cinematography is a voice for empathy, an advocate for justice, and a cultivator of relational truth. His lens sees the beating heart of social change: the vulnerability, the authenticity, and the love that fuel healing and transformation. Daniel leverages a multicultural sensibility—rooted in varied experiences throughout life—to portray stories that are inclusive, nuanced, and deeply resonant.
With a bachelor’s degree from UNC Chapel Hill, he lives in Nyack, NY, with his children, Adelaide and Cove.
