I grew up making short films and YouTube videos with friends since about 12 years old. Instantly, I discovered an insatiable desire to put people in front of a camera and make movies.

​

In May 2025 I earned my B.F.A. in Film and Television from SCAD, where I honed my craft on set and learned the realities of filmmaking through hands-on experience with industry-standard tools. I discovered my voice, and fully realized my motivation to create authentic, human stories through a grounded yet creative lens.

​

Read my article, "Life & Work with Elijah Gittens...", where I go into more detail about my experience as a student filmmaker in Savannah.

​

I'm currently wearing multiple hats as I am - promoting my short film, "Loving Emma", working in the film industry here in the Southeast, and taking on freelance videography/editing work. I recently had the opportunity to serve as the 2nd AD on a feature film here in South Carolina, which taught me even more about the complexities of film production.
