Elliott Bland

Elliott was born and raised in the United Kingdom, getting his degree in Business Management and Marketing before jetting off to spend the next two years living in France. He had an early passion for film and television, with a certain penchant for what Eastern culture has to offer. From the classic movies of Akira Kurosawa and early Dragon Ball manga to the yearly seasonal anime that Japan has to offer. He may be living back on English soil, but it’s clear to see where he escapes to spend his free time!
