Born in Australia on unceded Kaurna Land and coming of age in Naarm, elise studied a Bachelor of Film & Television at Swinburne University before entering the film and television industry in 2018. Her longform credits can be seen here.

elise draws upon personal experience to enrich her creative worlds; both her prose and filmmaking often explore the juxtaposition of her ultra-religious upbringing and her queerness.

Her favourite stories (to create and consume) breathe authenticity, challenge social perceptions & celebrate the wonderfully messy human condition.

elise’s favourite thing in the whole world is the colour green.

Green is the hill she will die on.
