HI, MY NAME IS ERIC BRUNT

I was born and raised in Victoria, BC. Summer days in my teenage years were spent watching silent movies and classics from the 1930’s. This not only fostered an interest in history, but a passion to work behind the camera as a director.

This career choice took me to Vancouver where I majored in Film Production at UBC. My two short films, “The Music Box” and “The Last Stop” played at numerous film festivals across North America. I was nominated for a Leo Award, BC’s film and television awards, for best student film.

While studying, I started working with Capture the Moment Media, a commercial production company. Starting as an editor and cinematographer, I worked my way up to producer and director, working on a diverse slate of projects.

In 2018 I launched Last Ones Standing Productions, with the goal of creating a documentary in memory of my grandfather. I left BC with all my camera equipment packed in a small van. As a mobile film studio, I drove across Canada for 13 months, interviewing as many surviving Second World War veterans as possible.

To date, 519 veterans have shared their experiences on camera for me and I’ve driven across the country three separate times. Montreal became my new home in 2021.

Please check out my social media pages to stay up to date with my work and get in touch if you would like to learn more or know of any living Second World War veterans in Canada.
