About
Howdy, I'm Elliot - a Boulder-based cinematographer & mountain athlete committed to sharing stories of people and planet. Born in the Rockies and raised on the road by two engineers, I have spent my life studying film, science and topography in the American West. Educated in geography, computer science and endurance mountain movement, I have interviewed Nobel laureate physicists, Photographed Turing Award recipients, and ran track workouts with Olympic medalists. Along with my camera, I carry a deep understanding of science, meaning and cinematic philosophy. I care deeply about the planet we live with, and am inspired by those who live and work closest to it. I live to share inspiring stories of science, adventure and human endeavour.

Chicana Light
Listening to Andrea's journey of identity and understanding her heritage was beautiful and almost in a literal way, grounding. Her installation at the University of Colorado cracked open my understanding of Colorado and filled it in with stories of complex identity and perseverance for justice and equality in Colorado, the ground beneath my own feet. Her historical art installation experience carried visitors into the history and present of the Chicano Rights Movement, and illustrated that the movements we read about in history books are never really over, and were started and carried by people just like us.
