Zeb Haradon
grew up in upstate New York and started shooting Super 8 films as
a Cognitive Science undergrad at the University of Buffalo. He taught
himself the basics of 16mm film, bought a used camera, and edited
on his table at home using household tape. Zeb's first film, ELEVATOR MOVIE, made in his Salt Lake City apartment, premiered at the 2004 Chicago Underground Film Festival and has gone on to play many of the top underground fests around the world, including Switzerland’s Lausanne Underground, (opening night), Boston Underground, Atlanta Underground, and the Melbourne Underground Film Festival.
The Chicago Reader called ELEVATOR MOVIE "Eccentric and darkly funny. " Film Threat called it, “damn near brilliant in its construction of a stifling, claustrophobic dead space of the surreal,” with “all the spunk and deranged spirit of Lynch’s legendary debut.” On his acting, “Haradon proves he is not only a talented filmmaker but also maybe the next James Spader.” More reviews and info at www.elevatormovie.com
Elisa Haradon has been a hardcore documentary film devotee
since first seeing "Streetwise" (1984-Martin Bell).
She has been working on films for several
years, beginning as a PA on Harmony Korine's JULIEN DONKEY-BOY, then moving on to PM
on independent projects in
NY and NJ. She served as an assistant editor on the documentary WALLY by Robert Fink and conducted pre-interviews for a new documentary on lottery players by the makers of "Spellbound." She was the Research Coordinator and Assistant Editor on the documentary ZOO, about the highly publicized Enumclaw, Washington bestiality case. The film recently went to both Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals, received a theatrical release, worldwide distribution and has spawned endless awkward silences. Some of her influences are the films of Fredrick
Wiseman and the photography of Mary Ellen Mark. WAITING FOR NESARA is Elisa's first
film.
Elisa and Zeb live in Seattle, Washington.
