He has taught at leading universities in France, Denmark, Japan, Sweden and Canada, and unlike most other film instructors, writes and produces feature films himself, with three produced features, and four more currently in pre- production. His students have gone on to shoot films that together have grossed more than $100,000,000 at the box office. In 1998, Elliot founded the British Independent Film Awards, which have quickly become the most important independent film awards in the UK. Last year he launched www.raindance.tv, quickly becoming Europe's leading IPTV service for independent films. More than 5,000 students have taken Elliot's class. He's been featured and reviewed in every major film magazine and newspaper around the world, and his former students are a Who's Who of the UK film world.
