The Eric Norcross Podcast6. Motivation to Create + a Reading of a Screenplay Eric Wrote in High School"I'd rather tame a wild horse than motivate a mule." With that sentiment, Eric discusses the difficulty of motivating people to create.

"The Alternative" is an un-produced screenplay from March 1999 and Eric invites you to digest this amateur masterpiece.
