He later attended a film school designed to give students practical experience and preparation for a career in the film business. He learned the ropes firsthand while working in the camera department on many commercials, music videos, and television shows such as The Adventures of the Black Stallion starring Mickey Rooney. During this time, Elkayem also made several short films with support and financial assistance from the New Zealand government. His big break came with Larger than Life, a 13-minute black-and-white, FX-driven homage to the 1950s Hollywood horror genre, featuring a giant, man-eating spider. Produced by Academy Award winner Jamie Selkirk, and financed with the largest grant of its kind from the New Zealand Film Commission, Larger than Life received critical acclaim at the 1998 Telluride Film Festival and later caught the eye of the Hollywood producers Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow), who then recruited Elkayem to write and direct Eight Legged Freaks, a $30 million feature film based on Larger than Life, starring David Arquette, Kari Wührer, and Scarlett Johansson, and distributed by Warner Bros. He has since worked on a number of low-budget horror films, including Necropolis and Rave to the Grave sequels and Nature's Calling.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://movies.nytimes.com/person/302659/Ellory-Elkayem|work=The New York Times|title=The New York Times}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/35938/without-a-paddle-natures-calling/|work=DVD Talk|title=Without a Paddle: Nature's Calling|date=13 January 2009|author=Ryan Keefer}} External links
