Eric Manes is a writer and producer in the film and television industry. As a producer, Manes made the groundbreaking documentary "Voices of Iraq".

Biography

For "Voices of Iraq", Manes arranged to funnel digital video cameras to hundreds of Iraqis in the midst of war. The Iraqis in turn interviewed thousands of their compatriots. Within six months, the film was finished, marketed, and distributed for theatrical release in the United States. Because of its unparalleled intimacy and access to Iraqis, the footage was featured on "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos. Manes guided "Voices of Iraq" through its worldwide release and festival circuit, bringing it to Edinburgh, Melbourne, Locarno, and South Korea. [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0541989/ "Eric Manes". "Internet Movie Database".] ]

Previously, Manes produced the $40 million "3000 Miles to Graceland" (starring Kevin Costner, Kurt Russell, Christian Slater and Courtney Cox) for Warner Bros., the indie comedy "Phat Beach" (with "Entourage” creator Doug Ellin and starring Coolio) and the horror film "Campfire Tales" (starring Amy Smart and Ron Livingston) for New Line Cinema, which he also wrote. For CBS, he has created and executive produced television pilots with Academy Award winning producer Mark Johnson. In 2000, Manes convinced MTV to gamble on a reality show where contestants film themselves while completing challenges in the world’s most haunted locations. The result was "MTV's Fear", MTV’s second highest rated show in 2000 and 2001, which Manes created and executive produced. [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0541989/ Eric Manes ] ]
