Elli Legerski was raised in small towns throughout Wyoming and Colorado and always used movies as her escape to different, more exciting worlds. As she obtained her degree in film at the University of Utah, she also found Sundance. There, she met and landed jobs with several renowned filmmakers, including Lee Daniels, Peter Jackson, and Freida Lee Mock. She moved to Los Angeles in 2013 after she was recruited to work in Film Finance at the Creative Artists Agency. She now produces and writes full time. Her projects have premiered at Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, Outfest, and Sitges. In 2021, she became a member of the Producers Guild of America. Most importantly, though, she is known for her big hair and foul mouth.
