Eli Batalion is a writer, producer, director, actor and composer for film, TV, the web and the stage. Eli began his career in musical theatre with the award-winning internationally touring play "JOB: The Hip-Hop Musical." He and partner Jerome Sable evolved their work to the screen with the musical horror comedy short "The Legend of Beaver Dam" selected to TIFF, Sundance, Berlinale and over 75 global film festivals.

Eli holds a DEC in Creative Arts from Dawson College, a B.A. from Brown University and an M.B.A. from HEC Montréal.
