Few people know more filmmakers and screenwriters than Elliot Grove. Elliot is the founder of the Raindance Film Festival,  British Independent Film Awards, and the Raindance London Film School. He has produced over 700 hundred short films and five feature films: the multi-award-winning The Living and the Dead (2006), Deadly Virtues (2013), AMBER (2017), Love is Thicker Than Water (2018), and the SWSX Grand Jury Prize winner Alice (2019). He teaches screenwriting and producing in the UK, Europe, Asia, and America.

Elliot has written three books that have become industry standards: Raindance Writers' Lab: Write + Sell the Hot Screenplay, now in its second edition, Raindance Producers' Lab: Lo-To-No Budget Filmmaking and Beginning Filmmaking: 100 Easy Steps from Script to Screen (Professional Media Practice).

In 2009 he was awarded a Ph.D. for services to film education.
