Eli G. Hayes

My deepest condolences to Elis family. Eli was an incredible friend. Meeting him in Cannes in 2014 is still one of the best times in my life. I remember the night I met him, I had seen his film earlier that day and remembered his name when he introduced himself. I was so excited to meet him because I loved his film, and he was so happy to hear someone had watched it haha. We then became the closest of friends along with our third leg of the tripod Alecia. The three of us were attached at the...

So sad. I was a facebook friend on film message boards. I always enjoyed Eli's enthusiastic posts on films. He will be missed by many. Deepest sympathy.

Eli, the world is a sadder place without you here. Please make an awesome film so we can all sit down to watch it together when we meet again.... XOXO

Leslie, what a tragic loss, my condolences to you and your family. He was so creative. I am sure Jeffrey will be guiding him now.
