Eric was great to work with. On a super tight timeline, he helped us plan this shoot from beginning to end, and handled all the producing on our piece on an architectural firm. This was for a large news client, and all his work was efficient, well thought out, and supportive of the series ideas. Thank you Eric, and can't wait to work with you again!

Eric was exceptional. He traveled a considerable distance to make our shoot happen, was professional, timely, responsive, and patient. He delivered the footage promptly and was a delight to work with. I would highly recommend him for filming an interview and b-roll.

In spite of his weak showing at the Iowa caucus, Donald Trump has a loyal supporter in Alec Bognar. Bognar stumped for Trump in advance of the Iowa caucus in hopes of swaying his fellow students on the very liberal, pro-Bernie Drake University campus in Des Moines. VICE News sat down with Bognar to find out what it's like to be a lonely Trump supporter.
