DALE ELLIOT

Dale Elliot is an upcoming Jamaican actor and social media vlogger best known for his popular YouTube channel and his role in the film Sprinter, directed by the fantastic Storm Saulter. After viewing Elliots social media posts and realising his background in track and field events, Saulter cast him in the feature film Sprinter- a story about a talented track and field athlete who dreams of going abroad to see his migrant mother. Saulter was enthralled by how similar Elliot’s life was to his main character, Akeem Sharpe. The film went on to win five International Film Festival Awards, a promising start to Elliot’s acting career. Elliot was raised in Jamaica by his grandmothers and has always had a keen interest in athletics. However, it was his love of the popular app Vine- hosting six second viral videos- that encouraged him to express his creativity, and sprung the large fan base he has behind him. Under the pseudonym ‘Elli the Viner’, he gained 11 million Vine streams and was regarded as one of the most popular Viners in the Caribbean, before growing his reach to Instagram, transitioning to the app with ease. His success saw Elliot sign with influencer management agency, STUSH Marketing, where he began creating brand-centric content for companies such as telecommunications company FLOW, global fast-food chain KFC and local environmental organisation Jamaica Environmental Association, among others. Elliot can usually be found on his Instagram page, which he updates regularly and interacts with his 305,000 strong fan base. READ MORE
