Elle Brooks-Tao

Elle Brooks-Tao’s directing career began after a fortuitous meeting with an inquisitive key grip during her shift on a whale watching boat. A few weeks later Elle was working as a production assistant on a feature, bringing with her a tenacity and focus that would eventually lead her to a directing career. A journalist at heart, Elle recognizes there is no story without conflict. She is drawn to opportunities that give a voice to the voiceless and she strives to push these stories into the light.
