Eric Schaeffer: Life Coach

Does Eric Schaeffer-- creator and star of "Eric Schaeffer: Life Coach," the newest series on the My Damn Channel Comedy Network -- look familiar to you? He's had a long Hollywood career. Learn more about him:


ERIC SCHAEFFER
Writer/ Director/ Actor


Film:

After driving a cab in his hometown of New York City for 8 years in his twenties, Eric exploded on the film scene with his debut film, MY LIFE’S IN TURNAROUND, (1994, ARROW RELEASING) to rave reviews. Eric’s follow-up, IF LUCY FELL (1996) concerned 29-year-old New York therapist who, after her most recent romantic meltdown, makes a pact with her male roommate to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge if she hasn’t found love by 30. Sarah Jessica Parker, Ben Stiller, and Elle Macpherson starred alongside Eric, who wrote, directed and produced the hit romantic comedy for TRISTAR.

He fulfilled the same multi-hyphenate in his next two films: FALL (1997, MGM) and WIREY SPINDELL, (2000, WINSTAR) respectively. In Eric’s subsequent film, NEVER AGAIN, two fifty-somethings (Jill Clayburg and Jeffrey Tambor) that have sworn off falling in love again meet in a gay bar and rediscover themselves. Eric wrote and directed this romantic comedy for FOCUS FILMS. In 2002 Eric then made MIND THE GAP in 2004 starring himself, Elizabeth Reiser. Charles Parnell and Alan King.

THER’RE OUT OF THE BUSINESS is a quirky romantic comedy he made with Donal Ward, the sequel to their first film MY LIFE’S IN TURNAROUND. IFC FILMS released it theatrically in 2011.

Eric ‘s newest film AFTER FALL, WINTER, a dark, edgy romantic drama-comedy set in Paris opened theatrically in NYC Jan 2012 and FILMBUFF released it on digital platforms as well.


Television:

Eric’s first show TOO SOMETHING was on FOX in 1995. He created, starred and produced the comedy along with Donal Larnder Ward.

After starring on Mitch Hurwitz’s Everything’s Relative for NBC, Eric then created the FX original comedy series, STARVED in 2005. The show took a comedic look at the romantic and personal lives of an eating disorder support group. Eric created, wrote, directed and starred in the series.

I CAN’T BLIEVE I’M STILL SINGLE, a narrative-style documentary series (based on his 2007 Memoir,) chronicled Eric’s quest to find a wife at the age of 40. It ran for 3 seasons on Showtime. The show continues to receive great reviews and strong ratings on HULU.

GRAVITY was Eric’s most recent scripted half hour. He created it with Jill Franklyn. The Starz original series he directed, produced and starred in was on the air in 2011. It also starred Krysten Ritter, Ivan Sergei, Ving Rhames and Rachel Hunter.

As a controversial and outspoken culture critic, Eric’s thoughts have also been published in The Huffington Post, Bookslut, Salon, and other important magazines and blogs.

His work is known for it’s honest and frank discussion of human sexuality, romantic love, sexual politics and exposes the quirky sides of our lives that we all know exist but often don’t talk about… at least in public. In ERIC SCHAEFFER – LIFE COACH, his first made for the internet full length comedy series, these themes will certainly be tackled reaching both comic and poignant ends of the emotional spectrum.

Eric lives and creates in New York City.
