Award winning filmmaker Mikki Willis is respected internationally as an innovator of socially and environmentally conscious media. His passion for uniting creatives inspired the birth of "the world's largest single screen film event," Elevate Film Festival. After a successful four year tour, the festival morphed into Elevate, a full service media production company. Elevate's core mission is to leverage the awesome power story telling to amplify truth, solutions and the good news of the world. Elevate is often invited to capture rarely filmed events, such as sacred ceremonies with indigenous tribes, to behind the scenes of historic social and political events. Elevate is known for bringing heart and style to every production, whether it be creating visual experiences for Cirque Du Soleil, tagging along with His Holiness The Dalai Lama, or capturing the moves of The Black eyed Peas. To date, Mikki and his crews have produced over 400 breakthrough productions, including television series, features films, music videos for multi-platinum artists, and their viral videos have received more than a quarter of a billion views. Mikki Willis lives to the fullest in Ojai California with his wife Nadia, and their two little boys Azai and Zuriel.
