For Eric Becker, who spent his college years studying public health, he lived vicariously through friends who chose their paths in art and film. “It [film] always looked so fun,” Becker muses, recalling his undergrad days. But he pressed on in the world of public health. Combining his desire for art with his college education, Becker decided to pursue his film potential through public health works in Nicaragua. Prior to finishing his graduate degree, he moved to Maine and spent time working miscellaneous jobs in order to afford film and equipment to take on the trip. Once he raised enough money, he spent a period of time in Nicaragua and realized that public health and film could go hand-in-hand.
