Trained as an animator and film editor at Sarah Lawrence College, Bill Elliston's early work and passion is still focused on educational shorts and children's entertainment. An internship with Jim Jarmusch, in 1998, gave him his first taste of the production work that goes into film. Bill's first actual taste of producing came at the end of college when he produced The Samurai Dream, an award-winning film directed by Mike Wei. Bill's love of production then led him to start Blue Cat Pictures. A number of talented artists have worked with Bill for Blue Cat Pictures directly and in collaborative productions. Bellow is a list of the productions associated with Blue Cat Pictures and/or Bill Elliston.

Blue Cat Pictures is currently taking a haitus from work so Bill Elliston can focus on being an EMT.  He will return to film through animated shorts in the future.  You can still email him at bluecatpictures@aol.com
