“Elliot was a key member of the Drive to Survive Team. A constant source of ideas, his approach always suited the big scale of the production and he was never afraid to try something different. Elliot also managed to crack the toughest (opening) episode of the series. I would love to work with him again.” - Tom Keeling, Executive Producer, Formula 1: Drive To Survive, Box To Box Films for Netflix

“Elliot is amazing: creative, smart, pragmatic and gifted. He just oversaw three gorgeous films for WILD ANIMAL IN MY FAMILY, and directed one of them. The series is gripping and beautiful, and it’s largely down to Elliot.” Dan Chambers - Blink Films

Elliot is an immensely thoughtful, creative and talented film-maker, who cares deeply about his work. He brings an editor's eye and a keen editorial brain to his storytelling. He shoots with flair, interviews well and handles tricky contributors with skill. He can tell a visual joke and ramp up the drama when needed, but he is also thorough in his journalism and enjoys making the complex comprehensible. He is organised and disciplined in pre-production and is conscientious in post. I greatly enjoy working with him.”  Matthew Barrett – Creative Director, WMR Productions
