Steve Erickson does not like writing about himself in the third person. Also, he is not the L.A.-based novelist who shares his name. He came to New York in 1992 to attend grad school in Cinema Studies at NYU and has remained here ever since, including a spell as a clerk at the now-legendary Kim's Video. He has written for GAY CITY NEWS, ARTFORUM, FILM AND VIDEO, the Baltimore weekly CITY PAPER and many other publications. He hopes to go into production on his fourth short in spring 2009.
