​
I was born in Detroit, Michigan
on May 30th, 1985.

I come from a family of 4 brothers

​including Myself,
Jerome Beeler Van Orman, ​
Ted Van Orman,
and 

Benjamin Van Orman.

When I was six
I moved from Grosse Pointe Farms, MI
to Rochester Hills, MI
​where my life as a filmmaker began.

A family friend down the road,
Michael Brugos
got me interested in film and video.
​
For my 10th Birthday
I received my first 8mm camera
and never looked back.

My earliest films paid homage to
Star Wars and George Lucas.
​
By the time I was eleven
I was making BMX bike videos
with my older brothers; 
​and I soon became a BMX rider, also.

In the following years,
I produced and sold 5 independent BMX videos
throughout
​the global BMX community.

​After graduating from 
Rochester Adams High School 
in 2004,
​
I moved to Chicago, IL to attend 
Columbia College 
where I earned a BA in
Film and Video
​in May 2008.

Right around this time
I was diagnosed with
Bipolar Disorder
and
Schizophrenia.

Luckily with the right medication
and family support
over a decade plus
I've been able to keep my head balanced
​and moving forward. 

After graduation,
I moved back to an apartment
in the Detroit area
to start my own
independent film and video production company 
Elliot Van Orman Productions!

​With it I've been creating NEW films,
commercial work,
music videos,
and social media projects
​for the web,
television, 
and DVD
with a growing list of clients.  

My work has been posted on

www.CBSDetroit.com,
www.MTVu.com,
www.ESPN.com,
​www.DIGBMX.com,

and lots of other sites as well.  ​

​The future looks bright! 

Always Dreaming, 
NEVER STOPPING.

"Here's to the crazy ones.

Because they change things.
They invent.
They imagine.
They heal.
They explore.
They create.
They inspire.
​They push the human race forward.

While some see them as the crazy ones,

We see genius,
​
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do." 

-Steve Jobs 
​(RIP)

"I'm feeling rough.
I'm feeling raw.
​I'm in the PRIME of my LIFE!

Let's make some MOVIES,

​Make some MONEY,
and find some MODELS for WIVES!"

"Cheer up baby,
it wasn't always quite so bad, 
for every bit of VENOM that came out,
THE ANTIDOTE WAS HAD."

​-(Isaac Brock
of Modest Mouse)

"Wooden Soldiers"-

​"Making plans in the sands as the tides roll in,
making plans.

It's level at the PEAK.
Our words don't speak.
Calm down, retreat.
Find your breathe don't speak.

Even death just may not be,
​We'll cross that bridge sometime and see..

But just BEING HERE NOW IS ENOUGH FOR ME!"
​
-(Isaac Brock
​of Modest Mouse
