Jason Ellis

Jason's film work began when he made short films with the neighbourhood kids while he was still at school. This then progressed into running his own YouTube channel, with varied content such as travel videos, daily vlogs and other short form content. After this Jason began working with filmmakers in both Palmerston North and Wellington, covering everything from comedy shows to sporting livestreams to a 24 Hour Endurance Yacht Race around Wellington Harbour. While Jason enjoyed this work, he was always more interested in getting involved in narrative projects but they were quite hard to come by, so he decided, along with Eli, that they would just make their own work, and that's how Two Idiots and a Tin Whistle came about Outside of the film business Jason likes to travel as much as he can, with a goal of eventually visiting every country. He also enjoys keeping fit at the gym, hanging out with friends, and embracing his inner geek by attending conventions and trying to keep up with all the latest movies and tv shows.
