Elisee Junior St Preux is a Haitian American Filmmaker & Actor born in North Miami Beach, FL. 

A self-taught artist and business professional, Elisee deliberately studied the art of cinema through books, newspapers, articles, and practical experience. Elisee is the owner of the vintage production company, SOIL Pictures, who prides itself on rendering the highest form of nostalgia while using storytelling to uplift the Black and Caribbean experience both on and off the screen. Elisee is a Season 1 Director of Indeed's Rising Voices partnered with Hillman Grad Productions, a 53rd NAACP Image Awards nominee, a Sundance Ignite Finalist, an HBO Short Film Award recipient at the American Black Film Festival, a Year 2 Rideback Rise Circle Inductee, an NBAF Emerging Artist Horizon Award Finalist, a WEG Feature Film Lab Fellow, a South Pitch Fellow of New Orleans Film Society, and a Netflix "Created By" Fellow where he held a script development deal to pen an original feature film with the studio titled, SUNDRENCHED KIDS.

In addition to his visual artist work, Elisee is an Advisory Council member of the Morehouse Human Rights Film Festival, a brass horn musician, a community youth educator, and a mental health advocate. 
​
With a distinct dreamy, yet grounded style combined with modern cinema, Elisee insists on being a change agent in society to alter the way people imagine the future from a humane perspective. One of his ultimate missions involve changing the stigmatized depiction of Black & Caribbean boys and their fathers with a more loving, vulnerable image. He believes that storytelling has the power to heal. To this end, he incorporates core themes in his films to spark conversation, promote unity, and empower youth. Through explicit dreams, a fantastical vision, and pure nostalgia, Elisee's goal is to share stories that reflect the present, honor the past, and reimagine the future.

Elisee is currently in post-production for his debut feature film, THE TROPIC SUN AND HIS EYES - the first mental health, father-and-son narrative feature film shot entirely on land in Haiti.
