  • ABOUT ERIN

    Erin Derham is an international award-winning director and historian who specializes in storytelling with an edge — shining a light on all things misunderstood. Her production company, History Boutique Films, has released commercials, feature documentaries, and network series.

    Her first documentary, Buskin' Blues, a film about street music, screened at more than a dozen festivals and sold for worldwide distribution. Stuffed, a global documentary about the art of taxidermy, premiered at SXSW 2019 and received a theatrical release; it now streams on Amazon. Erin also served as showrunner for two+ seasons (13 episodes) of Point of View: A Designer Profile, a documentary series about the artistry behind interior design, streaming on Discovery+ and Max.

    From 2023 to 2024, Erin developed a documentary with legendary producer Mike Medavoy about the builders behind artificial intelligence, along with Healthy Lies, a documentary on fraud in the wellness industry, and a dinosaur series for Amazon. All was cut short by a storm.

    After Hurricane Helene devastated western North Carolina, Erin donated 100 percent of her services to local businesses and nonprofits rebuilding from the storm.

    She is currently finishing her first book, Confessions of a Liberal, releasing Fall 2026.

    I've spent decades asking strangers questions for a living. Here is everything I've learned: people tell you who they are if you sit still long enough.

    That conviction built a career: hundreds of interviews across four continents, two feature films, a docuseries, four national commercials.

    I speak on the art and science of listening. How to ask the question underneath the question. How to earn the answer someone has never said out loud. How to sit in silence without flinching, because silence is where the real story lives. My approach blends instinct with analytics, ancient craft with modern tools — the same method whether I'm interviewing a Nobel-adjacent physicist or a street musician.

    Book me for keynotes and workshops on interviewing, storytelling, and the future of traditional filmmaking in the age of AI.
