Story

Your story is everything.

“Homo sapiens is a storytelling animal that thinks in stories rather than in numbers or graphs.”
Yuval Noah Harari, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

I think that's the whole game. Nobody falls for a film, a product or an idea because of a spreadsheet; they fall for the story.

01 · The short version

I'm Eitan, and I create.

Films, scripts, photos, apps. The medium changes; the job doesn't: find the story that moves people. I study applied physiology and kinesiology at the University of Florida, with a minor in media production. People hear that and think it's two different lives. It isn't. I love learning how the body works and what it's capable of, and that's exactly why I love shooting athletes. This summer it took me into Israel's sports-tech ecosystem. But my heart has always belonged to the arts; the feeling I get watching a great movie is hard to beat.

02 · What I'm creating now

03 · Why movies

Movies were my first great story, and they're still my favorite way to tell one.

A great movie can make a room full of strangers feel the same thing at the same moment. Writing is where that starts, on the page. Photography is how I practice catching a moment before it's gone. And the camera became my outlet because some things are easier to show than to say; it's still the most honest way I have of saying something.

04 · Why I build

Why limit my imagination to one medium?

Some tasks need streamlining. Some tools don't exist yet, and some information I want to see isn't anywhere. So I build, for me and for others: apps that take the pesky jobs that eat hours down to minutes, so the time goes to what matters. First up is Greenlight, which watches 16+ studio job boards and 1,200+ listings so I never miss an internship. See the build →

05 · The athlete side

The limit in your head is a lot closer than the real one.

Most of us get too comfortable. Endurance racing is how I refuse to: discipline first, then belief, then a little more than I thought I had. That same drive took me into strength & conditioning at Bommarito Performance Systems and physical therapy at Force. And it's how I think about media: comfortable content is forgettable. People want to be provoked, surprised and shown something new.

06 · Where I'm going

My talent is the same everywhere: find the story that matters.

Films, apps, content, campaigns. I don't want to pick one lane, because what I do doesn't change between them. Fair warning: hand me a quarterly report and I'll find the three-act structure in it. Right now I'm looking for a summer 2027 internship anywhere things get made: a production company, a studio, an agency or a product team.
