Bio & background

Eli Snyder is a commercial and music-video director signed by Believe Media in September 2023 for global branded-content, advertising, and MV representation. After child roles as young Leonidas in 300 and young Rorschach in Watchmen, he studied film at UCLA while playing quarterback for the Bruins, then earned a directing degree at AFI and the Richard P. Rogers Spirit of Excellence Award. His shorts Interlude (2019) and Aves (2022) took Grand Prize at Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival and CAA Moebius selection. He directed second unit on Netflix’s Rebel Moon. Commercial work includes Liquid Death’s January 2024 Rebel Moon beer-ad-trope spoof (Adweek), G FUEL’s “F FUEL is for Farmers” Netflix co-branded spoof, Adidas “Where It All Started,” and Headspace boxing piece “When You Need It Most.” SHOOT named him to its 2023 New Directors Showcase. Craft notes cite deliberate camera movement, lens choice, foreground, set dressing, Steadicam on a commercial crew, and Liquid Death shot on film and Sony. He is attached to direct the Until the Last One pilot.
