Eliza completed her Masters of Film & Television (Documentary) at The Victorian College of the Arts in 2016. During her two years there, Eliza travelled to Los Angeles with her short doc Compers which screened at Palm Springs International Film Festival, after success at St Kilda Film Festival and Heart of Gold International Film Festival. In her final year she received the graduate award for female directors – The Sarah Watt Award, for her film Daughters of Doom. 

Since graduating Eliza has followed the participants of Daughters of Doom to create her first feature film Queens of Concrete, which premiered to sold out audiences at MIFF, and has since been nominated for Best Feature at SXSW Sydney, and screened at CinefestOz. The film ranked #4 out of 80 Australian films to premiere in 2024 by Cinema Australia. Eliza’s passion for the project lies in her own coming-of-age experience growing up on the NSW Central Coast.
