From North County and Jennings to film, music, and cinematic short-form storytelling, Eric “Remrod” Mayes has been using creativity to spotlight St. Louis for years.
In this episode of The STL Bucket List Show, Remrod shares how his early passion for music, photography, and film led to building a platform rooted in positivity, consistency, and community impact.
