Eric
Bumpus' two main academic interests were realized in 1998 while
taking a Video Yearbook course and a Theological survey course
at Lenawee Christian High School in Adrian, Michigan. Bumpus was
one of forty students nationwide to earn a certificate of completion
from the Los Angeles Film Studies Center in the Spring of 2003.
He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Communications from
Indiana Wesleyan University of that same year.
Bumpus' primary experience has been as a freelance video editor
for various production companies including MagicHouse Productions,
New Hollywood Studios, Marion's Community School of the Arts
(CSA) and others. His production company, Meliora Productions,
can be found by visiting: www.MelioraProductions.com
Eric is currently working on a reality series, "DancePros
Bootcamp" with Bandy Dance in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Bumpus is also the co-author of "Cease Fire, the War is
Over! Strategies for Biblical Integration in Film"; a book
detailing a Theology of culture and ideas for Christians and
Filmmakers to adopt in their interaction with culture. Published
in November 2005 by Xulon Press, "Cease Fire, the War is
Over!" is already being used in a college course at Indiana
Wesleyan University. Copies can be found through any major online
book retailer (including Amazon). A website for the book is
in pre-planning stages.
