Elliott Koriath

I'm Elliott, a documentary filmmaker, producer, editor, and distribution strategist based in Chicago.

I graduated from the School of Cinematic Arts at DePaul University in 2023 specializing in Comedy Filmmaking but recently made the switch to documenting life and its subjects. I’ve developed technical skills in cinematography with Canon, Sony, Panasonic, and Bolex cameras, editing on Adobe Premiere Pro, and directing through workshops with Chicago Filmmakers!

I currently work as a video editor, community manager, and growth operator for The Reelist Indie Film Club, a collective platform dedicated to showcasing independent films and funding filmmakers’ next projects. This involves plenty of time in the editing suite and number crunching on Sprout Social and HubSpot. But it’s through this that I’ve discovered a talent in distribution and currently advise filmmakers on festival planning, audience outreach, and theatrical bookings.
