Chinese American writer/director Eric Byler grew up in California,
Virginia, and Hawaii before graduating from Wesleyan University in
Connecticut. Eric was nominated for a 2003 Independent Spirit Award
for his debut feature film "Charlotte Sometimes," which also earned
nominations for producer Marc Ambrose and actress Jacqueline Kim.
Eric's second feature "Americanese" was acquired for theatrical
release by IFC Films and won both the Audience Award and the Special
Jury Award at the South by Southwest Film Festival in 2006. His first
effort as a television director, "My Life Disoriented," aired on PBS
stations around the country in late 2006 and early 2007. Current
projects include the "Charlotte Sometimes" sequel "TRE," now in
post-production.

Eric has been invited to speak at colleges and universities around the
United States, and is known for grassroots activism and YouTube
documentaries he created during the 2006 Virginia Senate race on
behalf of Virginia's Asian/Pacific American community.

"MY LIFE DISORIENTED"
A new Asian/Pacific American TV show
SYNOPSIS:
Life gets turned upside down for Bay Area teens Kimberlee and Aimee
when their father loses his job and relocates the family to
Bakersfield. Suddenly, Kimberlee and Aimee are two of only a handful
of Asian American kids at their school. In episode one, Kimberlee
quickly makes friends with a street-smart outcast named Tisa, but the
new friendship is strained when three "popular" girls take Kimberlee
under their wing. Meanwhile, Aimee puts on a brave face for the sake
of the family, but shares the cause of her secret suffering with her
peculiar, mixed-race cousin, Phil.

In most parts of the country, PBS stations showed "My Life
Disoriented" during the holidays, so people who traveled and many of
the nation's college students missed their chance to see it. But you
can still check out the YouTube clips below, AND help "My Life
Disoriented" become a national sensation by sending emails to your
local PBS stations to request that the first episode be aired again,
and to request that it be made into a series.
