About

I’m a Filipino-American documentary filmmaker and photojournalist based in Columbus, Ohio. With over eight years of professional experience, I have worked with prestigious editorial and commercial clients, including Business Insider, BBC, New York Times, Facebook, and Verizon. I'm a grant recipient through the Pulitzer Center, a previous fellow at Kartemquin Films and a fellow at the Wexner Center for the Arts. I lived in the Philippines during the early part of my career and I frequently travel to Latin America for clients as I'm fluent in the language and I have a deep love and affinity for the culture. Since 2022, I have been running my own production company Amihan Films LLC based in Columbus, Ohio, specializing in branded documentaries and creative content. My current passion project is a feature-length documentary film about reconnecting to my donor-conceived family and finding my biological father.

    We had a last minute shoot that had a lot of moving parts and plenty of travel. Eli was excellent to work with as always. He was incredibly attentive and brought a much needed creative eye to our production. Looking forward to the next one!

    Eli did a great job in covering an ongoing story in Manila. He engaged very well with the audience, provided great footage and audio, sourced interesting voices, and gave continuous context to what was unfolding.

    Eli was a total professional. Worked very well and on the fly on a shoot that required a lot of thinking on his feet. Highly recommended.
