ELLIOTT GONZO is a Director and Artist.
"Warping the world we live into a seductive yet, dystopian otherness."
Fascinated with creating alternate worlds and realities that capture the dark and fantastical.
This approach has allowed Elliott to develop a distinctive style that is spread across his body of work. Through subtle, surreal details and magical narratives, his visual experiences warp the world we live in into a seductive yet dystopian otherness.
“Even from a young age, I’ve always been obsessed with the idea of making my imagination or dreams come to life.”
Gonzo's latest music video clients include Meduza nominated for a UKMVA award, Wargasm, Enter Shikari, and Nothing But Thieves. As well as directing content work with Sony, Polydor, Tate Modern, Red Bull, Nowness, Dazed, NICCE, Ciroc and Redbull.
His work has been featured on It’s Nice That, Another Man, Booooooom, Directors Notes, 1.4, and Directors Library, including a UKMVA nomination in 2022, as well as competing at BAFTA qualifying festivals and winning awards around the world.
