This guy is an amazing storyteller. His films reveal the stories and struggles of everyday people and he has quite a story himself. Eliot told his own narrative with the same honest approach he takes to filmmaking and his words were powerfully moving. He opened up about the early years that he spent hustling and learning the industry, his struggle to overcome depression and addiction, his ongoing search to feel alive, and why he believes that ultimately, heβs here to empower others. Eliot, it was an honor to talk with you. Thank you for being real and telling all of your story so that others can find hope through your journey.
