About Eric Beach
I love to write about film, identity, and existential experience. I've done this on my Medium blog and The Movie Sleuth. Expatriating from the US to Sweden has given me more impetus to explore my identity through writing. I'm currently working on a book of personal essays that explore the different roles and identities I've had. I also have ideas/plans for a novel based on my experiences as a public school teacher in Colorado.

Hey, Everyone. I’ve finished an intro chapter to my book of essays. This was a about a trip to Great Sand Dunes and seeing someone who knew me as a very different person a decade before.

I’ve been excited to write and reflect on this time since it was very formative for me...
Update: Intro chapter drafted; reporter chapter started.
