Airbag Productions adds Cannes Young Director Award finalist Raphael Elisha to its roster
Airbag Productions has announced that young director, Raphael Elisha (left) has joined its roster. The production company is equally thrilled that he is a finalist for the prestigious Cannes Young Director Award.
Elisha’s film ‘Truel’ was also one of the Fabulous Four films at this year’s Adfest.
The move to Airbag and the YDA nomination cap off a great year for Elisha. His previous short ‘Catch Perfect’, which was part of the MIFF Accelerator program last year, screened this month at the St Kilda Film Festival.
Elisha also recently co-directed a 13 part factual series named ‘Heart & Soul’ which premiered on the ABC last month.
Airbag Productions EP Victoria Conners-Bell says she is “delighted to sign such an exciting young director who already shows enormous promise.”
Says Elisha: “I’m so happy to be part of this unique and inspiring company. It’s a fantastic, collaborative and creative environment, and that’s something that is quite rare in my experience.”
‘Truel’ will have it’s Australian premier at MIFF next month and the YDA will be announced at Cannes this Thursday, 20th of June.

Welcome Raph! Shame your first week in the office is going to be spent in Cannes… but hey – that’s what you call one of those good problems to have.
Another director leaving Otto? Sure is a sinking ship.
This punks on the up.
