Episode 5 – Eric Raddatz

My guest today is Eric Raddatz. He’s a man of many…things, known by many people around southwest Florida. He’s probably most publicly known as the man behind the Fort Myers Film Festival, which he founded in 2010. He also founded the Naples International Film Festival the year before. But, when it comes to his work, Eric Raddatz is definitely best known, whether people know it or not, for his work as Presentation Editor at Florida Weekly.

He’s one of the main forces behind the papers’ visual aesthetic. He’s also a regular contributor on NBC2 News in Fort Myers, the Creative Director at Florida Southwestern State College, and the Presentation Editor at the Babcock Ranch Telegraph. And last but not least, Eric has won the ‘most likely to wear a sport coat with sneakers’ award at least five years running, I’ve lost count…that last part isn’t true..
