Show Notes

Gorham native Eric Saindon, a former architecture student, has made a remarkable journey from small-town Maine to Hollywoods big stage. After a successful stint at Weta Digital in New Zealand, he won his second consecutive Oscar for visual effects supervision on Avatar: Fire and Ash. Despite facing health challenges, Saindon remains humble, crediting his team and honoring the late Jon Landau. His story is a testament to how small-town roots can fuel big-screen magic.
