Press Release
Airbag Productions are thrilled to announce that exciting young director, Raphael Elisha, has joined their roster. They are equally thrilled that he is a finalist for the prestigious Cannes Young Director Award.

Elisha also recently co-directed a 13 part factual series named ‘Heart & Soul’. It premiered on the ABC last month.
Airbag Productions EP says she is “Delighted to sign such an exciting young director who already shows enormous promise."
“I’m so happy to be part of this unique and inspiring company”, says Elisha. “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.
