Working in non-narrative and experimental digital modes, Elliot focuses on color grading, color correcting and editing. His films have been screened at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and Elliot will earn his BFA in Film/Video in 2024.
I’ve always been fascinated with nature, and this has carried over into many of my films. For this film specifically, I wanted to make use of the ever-changing nature of plants and the outdoors to convey the idea of change over time and coming to a conclusion about something. I was inspired by the inherent fact that nothing stays the same, and also by my own personal feelings when trying to organize my thoughts. It was my goal to try and bring this feeling to life, and allow viewers to be able to see it represented visually. Representing feelings and thought process with visuals can be difficult to show in a way that is accessible to the viewer, so it was part of my goal to make it recognizable.
