My name is Steven Errickson. I am an editor. I also happen to make documentaries.




My work explores how the presence of a camera impacts the relationship between people. 



I don't know much about how cameras work. All I know is that people act differently when a camera is turned on.



This interests me. It makes me wonder how truthful a documentary can be. 



My films represent people as "unique subjects". This is difficult considering that it is impossible to escape what society dictates a "unique subject" to be.



Still, I try my best. 




For context, I was born in Asuncion, Paraguay. I moved to the United States with my father when I was six. I graduated from Lawrence University with a degree in film studies in 2021.
