About

     

There are different types of creative artists. The experimental artist is one whose mind thrives on life experiences. They are meticulous in their art and perfectionists in their craft. 

Their creativity is lifelong, using their own curiosity 

as a guide to unearth their talent. This is the type 

of artist you will find defines Eli Jimenes. 


Hailing from the Dominican Republic, Eli brings his multicultural flare and talents to every aspect of his work. 

As a producer, he assisted in the film Dysmorphia, a film in a series of shorts presented for the Showtime channel. He then produced the short film Capoeira, an Audience Award winner at the HollyShorts film festival in Los Angeles. He is in the development of the feature film Todos Los Santos, to be shot in the Dominican Republic, as well as Follow the Rhythm, a film to empower marginalized communities to break 

free through the art of Capoeira. 


Eli completed his Bachelor of Arts in 

Television,Film, and Media Studies from 

California State University

 in Los Angeles. 


Eli began his career in the theatrical and visual arts as an actor, working in off-off-Broadway productions such as “Twelve Angry Men” and Albert Camus' “The Just”. He made his move to Los Angeles where he has appeared on TV episodes of CSI Miami and Cold Case on CBS. His feature film credits also include The Murder of Hi Good and Suburban Cowboy. 

In his spare time, he loves to travel with his family 

and spend time on the beach.
