We had the good fortune of connecting with eric Sattler and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi eric, what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk is the unknown force that propels us forward. Sometimes, a risk unknowingly sets the stage for the next level. Embracing numerous risks, whether small or large, is crucial for our destined path. By preparing ourselves for risks, we anticipate potential outcomes. Rather than simply clocking in, I choose to embrace risk daily, foregoing immediate pay to pursue the freedom of doing what I love and managing my own time. I control both my income and outcomes, a journey supported by those who believed in me. While not every risk yields success, each offers a valuable lesson without any true losses.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am Eric Sattler, a director and the visionary force behind NVision Films. With a passion for storytelling, I have made a name for myself in the industry. I have worked on various projects, including commercials, TV shows, and documentaries. My talent and expertise have led to collaborations with NFL icons and personalities such as Kenny Vaccaro, Micah Parsons, and Johnny Manziel. My work has earned recognition, including being a finalist for the 2023 Best Director in the Austin Chronicle. I’ve dedicated my craft and ability to bring visions to life in the commercial and tv scene.
Networking and shaking hands with people outside my comfort zone, proving I belong in any room of creative professionals in this industry. I want to establish a creditable resource for video production and a business with integrity and hard work to back it up.
Along the way I have learned it is better to love your self and trust your skills so that, when the moment comes for you to share those skills with others in their journey you can provide them with the exact skills they require and trust you’ll deliver
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Welcome to Austin/Kyle! During your visit, I’d love to share some of my favorite spots with you. While there’s fun to be had every day, I recommend seeking out some cool places to escape the heat. We can start with a delicious breakfast at The Hideaway, where I always enjoy a nice chicken and waffle. If you’re into juices and quick, healthy treats, we must make a stop at Juiceland, an Austin favorite. You can also take a refreshing dip at the Green Belt and hike your way to a peaceful hideaway. Consider renting a boat on Town Lake or taking in the views from the 360 bridge. For a stunning city view, visit one of the beautiful high-rise buildings downtown. We could grab lunch at Big Rob’s Burgers in Kyle or try some BBQ at Micklethwait on 11th Street, if we can beat the rush! Or try one of my ultimate favorite spots at Kebabalicious, where you will be asking for seconds. Then for some entertaining fun, we should stop by Blazer Tag in South ATX. As the sun sets, we can explore the downtown area and hop between bars and clubs all night, then do it all over again the next day. Austin is full of talented artists across all genres, so there’s never a dull night in the city, that’s for sure!
The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
To the people who allowed me to mess up while I practiced my craft. They took a chance and invested their time and money in my abilities, and trusted in me to create their brand along their journey. That shows a huge amount of trust and allows me to take on the responsibility I feel suited to handle those tasks. My family, wife and kids, for trusting me to spend my time and resources accordingly to maintain a functioning lifestyle that provides and puts us in position to better our future.
