ABOUT ME
I'm a young aspiring journalist passionate about learning and developing the techniques required in journalism.

I'm also one of four scholars to The Art of Documentary, having completed the course. I have proficient knowledge of cameras, and am an experienced editor with the Adobe Creative Cloud.
I'm currently studying A-Levels, and am working for the Catholic Herald, having published work with them.

"I'm not sure what I was doing at 16 but it looks like you already have a drive and commitment that will serve you well in the industry."

"You have a very impressive portfolio and clearly a real dedication to the art of storytelling."
Jimmy Burns, Financial Times
"Great to work with you @elliotharteyuk you've started young, full of energy, curiosity, and creativity. You will go far.”
"The presenter looks and sounds like a schoolboy aged no more than 16. But the story is presented well enough, albeit his immature voice and looks are a tad annoying."
Luc Forsyth, Cinematographer & Director
“First off I’m going to shout of Elliot Hartley for having the most energetic and personalized application. He really went all out and make a dedicated video just telling me why he’d be a good fit for the program, and it’s exactly this kind of hustling and attention to networking that’s going to get him really far in this world. I always say networking is huge in this game, and Elliot is doing it right."
"Student filmmaker Elliot Hartley was inspired by the festival to create his own documentary style video. Elliot filmed, presented, interviewed and edited his own piece capturing the spirit of the weekend. We were so impressed by his talents and attitude that we have reached out to our contacts to find industry contacts and work experience for him as he continues his passion in documentary film making."
