Hello!
We’re Elise and Ethan. Welcome to our page.
We are a directing, producing, editing, and just generally all-around creative duo based in Los Angeles, CA. We focus on digital modes of storytelling & video creation. We started Tall Flowers with a little help from our friends -- who wanted to get their voices out there but were not quite sure how to go about doing it. We are working to bring ideas into reality through words, images, movement and music.
Ethan is an Angelino who studied at the University of Chicago and ArtCenter College of Design. After years of working in corporate as an art director and doing freelance video editing work, he now brings the rigor of organized creative production to artistic projects ranging from music videos to advertising campaigns. He enjoys biking, hiking, and backpacking trips that he says are going to be easy but are actually very hard. In his free time, you can catch him tackling a random house project or watering his trees; & in the shoulder season, you can find him out guiding groups on epic mountain bike trips!
Elise grew up in the suburbs east of San Francisco. She studied media & communications at NYU and worked in the fashion industry and documentary film while there. Elise is a newer but dedicated Angeleno, and like Ethan is probably never leaving. (She has just gotten used to getting around without GPS). After continuing studies in graphic design, her role is ideating and creating inspiration materials for Tall Flower videos. Music videos have been her most ambitious creative endeavor, and she so enjoys working with dedicated artists to create visuals that match their amazing work. In her free time, you can find her in the garden picking tomatos, playing hide-and-go-seek with her cat, or scrapbooking in a Moleskin. She also loves getting outdoors; practicing yoga, backpacking, or swimming in remote bodies of water.
