ELISE SALOMON - Writer / director / producer

I write present-day, grounded folk horror with an all-encompassing  aesthetic, rooted in drama and true to its supernatural underpinnings.

I  believe in storytelling as a universal tool to foster engagement, compassion, action and meaningful discourse. I strive to support unique voices and to be a fierce advocate for diversity in front of and behind the camera.

A proud graduate of Pitzer College at the Claremont Colleges with a BA in Media Studies, my work embodies themes related to TRAUMA, TRUST AND TRUTH; exploring authentic self, love and definitions of family. 

I am drawn to mythology and folklore, as these stories encompass my passion for horror and my obsession with the visceral, unlimited artistic potential of genre films. 

Forever a believer in the healing power of the arts, I practice and encourage the creation and sharing of artistic expression as a path to true connection, recovery and continued discovery.

I adore the style of the 1940’s and 1950’s and am an avid collector of vintage clothing and furniture. It can't rain enough for me. I thrive in temperatures between 28-62 degrees. I consume enormous amounts of media and caffeine. My favorite color is green. Horses are the best. Ireland is everything.
