Riding my bike with a Super 8 camera, in a case, while wearing a floral shirt on my way to an underground film festival. Peak hipster.
#femalefilmmakerfriday I’m honored to be a part of this team, directing and co-adapting Ani & Emma’s stage sketch Big Barb’s Barbecue for the screen. Filming Monday!
Movie trivia last night got interesting. Our team “The Lazy Susan Sarandons” thought we killed it, but ended up getting 6th place 😄
Goodbye, Chicago! I’m moving for filmmaking opportunities 🛫🎬

Such an honor to have our inaugural screening at Cannes! #Repost @eliazrod with @get_repost ・・・ Great turnout at Cannes Palais F for the first audience to see my new film Silica. It has been a journey of 3 years making this short and it was a pleasure to introduce it along side the lead, Davide Grody, and composer, Tony Scott-Green, who both did amazing jobs adding their talents to the film. #silicathemovie #elaminafilmstour #cannesfilmfestival2018

Childhood dream come true!!! My Super 8 noir short “The Big Slip” will be making it’s World Premiere at the Landmark Century Cinema for the Midwest Independent Film Festival May 1st! I went to freakin daycare in the Century Centre in the 80s, so little baby Eliaz would be peeing & pooping his OshKosh B’gosh hearing this news! 👶🏻 Thanks to all of my collaborators on the film for kicking ass and making it happen! Hope to see everyone there Tuesday at 6pm. Tickets on sale now (link in bio)! #thebigslip #filmmaking #filmmaker #elaminafilmstour

I met homeboy @anthonybradford at the 1st film fest Think Twice screened at in LA and caught him again at the 50th screening at the Atlanta Comedy Film Fest. Congrats to him and his Best Actor award win! #elaminafilmstour #thinktwicefilm
Officially 50 film festivals for my short Think Twice tonight at the Atlanta Comedy Film Fest! It’s been one hell of a ride which has brought me experiences I never could have imagined, and new lifelong friends I never would have met otherwise. Thanks to all who have supported and programmed the film along the way. Cheers to 50 more! -Just Kidding, Just Kidding. Next step is for the online release in early February! #elaminafilmstour #thinktwicefilm
Got to share the stage with these awesome filmmakers after the comedy block of the @gigharborfilm fest! Two Elamina Films (my production company) screened back to back! Think Twice & Off Book.
