Elijah Siren

Metairie

Summary

Hello! My name is Elijah Siren. I am a New Orleans based physical/digital artist and student who is hoping to find work within the film industry. Since I was a kid, I have loved the art of drawing, puppeteering, and just anything creative that I can get my hands on. This passion has helped me create:

  • Two short films in high school: Hold It In and Conversations With The Moon.
  • A short film (Chasing Grace) created for the 2025 48 Hour Film Project in New Orleans, which was placed in the Top 15 out of 30 entries. For this project, I worked on creating the concept of our film, writing the script, and helping to set up shots with our Director of Photography, Micheal Brouphy.
  • My own passion project called The Mad Dr. Siren's Creature Feature. As of right now, this is a pilot for a TV series about a secret organization that aims to educate humanity on the various mythical cryptids, beasts, and brutes that prowl about the New Orleans area. Many more shenanigans to follow.


I would be so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with Swaybox Studios, and although I may not have as much experience, I am more than willing to learn and dedicate my full attention and passion to this job. Thank you for your consideration.
