About Eric Kissack:
Born and raised in New York City, Eric Kissack fell in love with movies when he went to see The Empire Strikes Back at the tender age of 4, a questionable parenting decision but a pivotal career moment. He spent every free moment watching films growing up, and went on to study film at Brown University.
After school, Eric bumbled about for a bit but then got an early break as a film editor and spent 10 years cutting funny films in New York and Los Angeles. He had the pleasure of working on Role Models, Brüno, Cedar Rapids, The Dictator, Horrible Bosses 2, Daddy’s Home and Instant Family.
In 2012, he directed his first feature, Love, Sex & Missed Connections, an independent comedy that won several festival awards including Best Narrative Feature at the Cleveland International Film Festival and the Special Jury Award for First Time Filmmaker at the Traverse City Film Festival. In 2016, Eric decided to spend more time in television. He edited Black Monday, Rutherford Falls and Pam & Tommy, among other shows. He was nominated for an Emmy for his work editing Veep and an ACE Award for his work editing The Good Place.
Most recently, Eric directed his first episode of television for the show Rutherford Falls on Peacock, which premiered in June 2022.
