Eric Johnson
SVP, Partnerships & Engagement/Supervising Sound Editor
Trailblazer Studios

As Head of Partnerships + Engagement, I spend my time building genuine and long-term relationships with filmmakers, producers, network/studio executives ,and creative teams and helping those relationships turn into great work. I work at the intersection of creative trust and post-production, bringing our sound and picture teams into projects early so post feels like a true creative partnership, not a last-minute handoff. I collaborate closely with directors, showrunners, post supervisors, and production companies across films, premium TV, documentaries, and podcasts, often over multiple projects and seasons. I also represent Trailblazer at festivals, on panels, and industry events, and I love being part of the broader conversations about how we can make post more collaborative, more humane, and more creative. I’m generally known as a “connector” who is calm, collaborative, and focused on figuring things out. My goal is always to make post-production feel supportive and human, while building relationships that last beyond a single project. That approach comes from years of hands-on work as a composer, sound designer, and re-recording mixer. I still stay close to the craft as a Supervising Sound Editor on many of our projects, which helps me keep the creative and technical realities of post top of mind. Alongside the work itself, I care a lot about giving back and helping move the industry forward, whether that’s through past leadership roles with SPARS (The Society of Professional Audio Recording Services), the Governor’s Advisory Council on Film, Television, and Digital Streaming, and the Avid Community Association (ACA), or my current board work with the Southern Documentary Fund and the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival.
