Eric Merola is an internationally award-winning documentary filmmaker. For the last decade Eric has directed and produced four documentaries exploring disruptive scientific technologies in the space of medical research. 

Today, Eric Merola remains passionate about investigating fetal stem cell therapy, where he spent four years researching and releasing his 4th documentary, The God Cells: A Fetal Stem Cell Journey. Merola continues to follow new patients who seek fetal stem cell treatment and share their stories for an upcoming sequel to The God Cells. Merola feels that fetal stem cells could be the most disruptive technology he’s discovered in the medical research space, potentially replacing nearly every pharmaceutical medication on the market.

Eric’s current project: The God Cells: Going Foward will be Eric’s 6th feature documentary. Release TBD in 2022.

Merola’s 5th documentary, The Andorra Hustle, was available worldwide in English, Spanish, and Catalan on Amazon Prime Video for 6 days before being censored by Amazon after pressure from the political leaders of Andorra and Spain to have it removed. It is now available to watch free on Vimeo and  YouTube.

Merola’s first documentary, Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business was an international success seen by tens of millions of people worldwide. This project was presented on Netflix, PBS, The Documentary Channel, and various international television outlets. The positive reception of the Burzynski story led Merola to produce its sequel, Burzynski: Cancer Is Serious Business, Part II

Merola’s third documentary, Second Opinion: Laetrile At Sloan-Kettering tells the story of Ralph W. Moss, PhD, who blew the whistle on the successful laetrile studies conducted for 5 years at Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City in the 1970s.

Eric is also a painter and fine artist currently holding a residency at the 18th Street Studios in Santa Monica.
