Elia Smarius was born and raised in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where he developed his passion for cinema. In his debut short "When The Mist Lifts" he tries to merge traditional and old-school forms of filmmaking with unconventional ways of telling a story. The film creates an atmosphere similar to that of gritty Dutch mystery thrillers of the early 1980's with a modern pace and polish.
