WHO IS ELLIOTT HASLER?

Elliott Hasler is the youngest director in Great Britain who, after three years of production, completed his first feature film “Charlie’s Letters” (WWII: THE LONG ROAD HOME) at the age of 16. “Charlie’s Letters”, screened at the Edinburgh Festival and shown alongside “T2 Trainspotting” and “La La Land” on the Brighton Big Screen, was hailed as a “miracle” by critics, as Graham Fuller of Culture Trip quoted Hasler as ” the next Spielberg “.

His latest film is the short film “To Hunt a Tiger”, in which John Locked (Darkest Hour, The Favorite) plays the leading role. It was shot in Sri Lanka and follows in the footsteps of David Lean’s “The Bridge on the River Kwai”.

Hasler is currently developing his second feature “Vindication Swim” about the first English woman to swim the canal.
