Baker Entertainment Group is renowned for producing star-studded films and visionary television projects that feature some of Hollywood’s most iconic talent. At the intersection of their bold creative vision and cinematic execution stands Eric Wheelwright — a trusted director and production force who played a pivotal role in two of the company’s most high-profile releases: Fate and the behind-the-scenes companion series, Shaping Fate.

Whether you’re launching a new product, reviving a legacy brand, or building awareness for a cause, Eric and his team specialize in transforming vision into value—across digital, broadcast, experiential, and social platforms.

Directed by Jonathan Baker and featuring a powerhouse cast — including Faye Dunaway, Harvey Keitel, Andrew McCarthy, Cheech Marin, Brandon Routh, Mena Suvari, and Janet Montgomery — Fate is a visually rich, emotionally charged film that demanded a director capable of matching its scale and artistry.

Eric Wheelwright served as 2nd Unit Director on the project, entrusted with capturing the unspoken atmosphere that gives Fate its immersive cinematic texture. His role included:

• Directing all 2nd Unit sequences with a fully self-contained crew and equipment team.
• Operating as the C-Camera unit, delivering critical supplemental footage that enhanced the film’s depth.
• Serving as the 2nd Director of Photography, ensuring visual cohesion with the film’s primary cinematography.
• Capturing key establishing shots, environmental elements, and cinematic inserts that shaped the film’s world-building.
• Producing and directing the official Electronic Press Kit (EPK) — crafting promotional assets and interviews used to market the film across press and media outlets.

Through his technical precision, editorial leadership, and artistic direction, Eric helped bring Jonathan Baker’s vision to life — contributing not only to the visual identity of Fate on screen, but also to how it was positioned in the global marketplace.
