Tobi Elliott, Associate Producer
The latest addition to the team, Tobi Elliott is a young producer and emerging filmmaker based in Vancouver, B.C. She originally attended Montreal’s Concordia University to study print journalism, but came out the other side with a passion for documentary film. Last year she and a partner set up Blue Cyrus Media to showcase non-profit groups, and ordinary heroes with extraordinary stories. She has worked with Magnus Isacsson on several of his current projects, including ‘Jaxon, Champion of the Indian and the Underdog’ and ‘Out of the Shadows.’ She has also been helping with Magnus’ blog for the last two years, occasionally interviewing filmmakers and writing reviews.
Tobi is currently directing and producing her first documentary, The Trapper of Peace River, about a trapper and wildlife advocate who faces a rapidly diminishing animal habitat due to heavy industrial interest in northeastern B.C.’s shale gas fields.
With an unlimited curiosity about how people live and make sense of their world, Tobi ultimately wants to serve as a champion and producer for other filmmakers creating media that increases awareness of how the ‘other’ lives. She takes a keen interest in innovative funding possibilities for documentary film.
