Efland, NC is a census-designated place in Orange County, North Carolina. According to local lore, EFLs tend to run rampant in their mischief once the sun goes down. On a cold evening in February 1986, a young couple sought shelter from the EFLs and the spark of yet another male ego was forged. The EFLander if you will, hence Henry's present day LLC name. After nine months of incubation, Henry Schroeder was born in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Before Henry's massive skull could form proper memories, his parents decided to move the family to Vermont. Meandering around in the wilderness of the cold snow had a warming effect on Henry's imagination. Come middle school age, these same parents took the family back to North Carolina so Henry and his two siblings could go to UNC Chapel Hill and become world famous basketball players. None of them did.
In High School, Henry attended the summer-session at North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, NC (now UNCSA) and received the "Golden Gaffer" award due to that effervescent glint in his eye for he dons no jewelry. Henry went to Piedmont Community College (PCC) in Yanceyville, NC and received an Associate's degree in Film and Video Production Technology. Regardless of education or lack of proper workplace skills, Henry got one of his first film gigs from trolling Craigslist and invoking his gift of gab to upsell his abilities.
By the sweat on his Cro-magnon brow and the reach of his lanky arms, Henry then worked his way up from Production Assistant, to Set Decorator, to Special Effects Make-Up Artist, Special Effects Artist, to Indy Gaffer, to commercial Grip/Electric, to IATSE Best Boy Grip, to Technocrane Technician, to Electric Car Driver, to Technocrane Operator, to Camera Operator. Present day, Henry has a busted shoulder and is finally writing scripts, novels, spiels, and whatever else he thinks he can write. Maybe one day he will write IMDB bios. Until then, Henry keeps the EFLs at his arm's length not just for corona protocol... but for the greater good of humankind.
