TESTIMONIALS
Damien Bredberg -
'I've known and worked with Eli for 6 years in many different capacities.  In our industry, there is no longer the time, the budget or room for risks, so choosing the right people to collaborate, hire and lean on is becoming more important to not only ensure a smooth production but a professional and quality outcome, and this is why Eli is a great fit for my team.  
His hunger, determination, charisma and can do attitude is equally matched by his knowledge and technical ability. 
He is an absolute delight to work with and I would encourage and recommend fewer people in this industry.'


Mel Poole, Director at 18 Degrees Films -
 'I would highly recommend Eli on set.  He is extremely industrious and a pleasure to be around.  He works well as part of the crew and would be an asset to any camera department.'
