"ECHOES OF THE HEART" is a 1-minute experimental commercial filmed in San Francisco, California, in April 2024. 
Notably, it marks Eliott's debut as a director on a project with a budget exceeding $30,000 for a major client - COMPASS Real Estate.
The concept aims to make the audience feel as if they are sharing the couple's experience in the house, immersing them through the visuals, sounds, and overall mood of the video.

The film takes viewers on a journey through the life of a couple as it unfolds within the walls of a magnificent house. It offers a tranquil escape, portraying the estate as a luxurious retreat. Through the visuals, the actions and presence of the characters emphasize the beauty and serenity of the home, inviting viewers to imagine themselves in this peaceful setting.

This project represented Eliott's initial step into the professional filmmaking world. It was carefully planned, organized, and executed, involving key elements such as casting, scheduling, and technical breakdowns. Eliott oversaw every stage of the production, from concept to post-production, including supervision of the editor, colorist, and sound mixer.

The director’s cut is available to watch on Vimeo, while the Client’s version can be watched on Farallon’s website.
