About Elena

"It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop."
CONFUCIUS

I love humor and connecting with people. Started filmmaking about 2 years ago. I have a Master's degree in MMS from Loyola University, MD. I also went to American University, Washington DC to study film, but only for a year. True story: I just wanted to take a few classes, but somehow ended up in their graduate program.

I did my first short film Remember Beginning a year ago and learned the post-production part using Premier for edit, Audition for sound, and Resolve for color. I just wrote and directed my 2nd short film Releasing You in the summer of 2022. This time with a real crew.

I would love to find like-minded people who are passionate about the Art, make connections, learn, and help each-other.
Fun fact: drove a train (just for a short time!). Picked up Figure skating at 33 years old and passed 19 ice skating dances in 1.5 years getting to international level.

Unique traits: piano, oil painting
