Elliott Hasler

Elliott Hasler is a 24-year-old award-winning British filmmaker whose debut feature, the historical biopic Vindication Swim, is out now in theaters. Hasler’s passion for filmmaking began at a young age, with the production of WII: The Long Road Home. Made whilst at school and completed in 2017 when Hasler was just 16 years old, the film garnered praise from New York film critic Graham Fuller, who described the film as “a miracle achievement for a schoolboy director.” In 2017, Hasler also founded the UK-based independent film company, Relsah Films.
