Erica Thompson edits and directs film projects in Los Angeles while completing an editing fellowship at the AFI Conservatory Class of 2026. Her formal training includes a B.A. in Film from USC School of Cinematic Arts, where she developed expertise in commercial, music video, and branded content production. Her portfolio demonstrates application of cinematic techniques across multiple short-form visual formats. As founder of the Change the Air Foundation, Thompson established the Ask Change the Air initiative to build public understanding of indoor environmental health challenges. The program delivers expert insights on air quality, mold exposure, and mycotoxin effects through podcast episodes and a searchable digital archive. The foundation serves as an educational hub connecting environmental health specialists with community members seeking evidence-based information. Thompson's dual focus on film production and environmental health education creates natural synergies between visual storytelling and public health communication. Her work at the intersection of these fields enables translation of complex environmental concepts into accessible narrative formats. The foundation's resources address specific indoor air quality concerns while building broader awareness of environmental health impacts.
