Viv Smith
Creative Producer, Elastic
Crafting stories from some of the most remote and austere environments on earth from Jammu & Kashmir, Antarctica and Xinjiang China, they have developed a keen eye for framing powerful and unusual human stories against the backdrop of our planet’s most stunning vistas.
Viv's TV shows have been distributed internationally including National Geographic, Discovery Channel and ESPN, and their narrative and documentary films have won them numerous awards, including most recently Best Director at The Australian Women’s Film Festival.
Currently working in house at Elastic, Viv relies on their wild filmmaking experience to bring a bold and global perspective to Elastic's commercial and documentary work, of note Kotex's 2023 campaign and the Neon Streets docu-series about Sydney's nightlife.
