Born in Austin, Texas and raised in Jonesboro, Arkansas, Ellen has a strong connection to her southern roots. She recently graduated from New York University Tisch School of the Arts Asia in Singapore with an M.F.A. in Film Production. During her time at NYU, Ellen made short films, music videos, commercials, and documentaries in Tennessee, Arkansas, Indiana, New York, Los Angeles, Tijuana, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, the Philippines, and India.

Ellen favors films that allow people to view the seemingly mundane elements of life in unique, refreshing ways. She constantly strives to immerse herself in an atmosphere teeming with opportunities to challenge herself as an artist and to risk what is known for the chance to discover what is not. She is currently working on developing a feature and a web series with Elena Fisher. The two run a Los Angeles-based independent production company called Ellena Productions.
