About Spitsbe
When her surname was just too long…
Elizabeth Spitsbergen helps bring clients into a world of creativity and excellence through video production. She holds two Emmy Awards for her Directing and Producing Achievements.
“There is no line drawn that I can’t cross when it comes to being creative. Take into account that God created over 8.7 million different species, that alone should inspire any person to come up with something!”
Elizabeth grew up on a horse ranch in Ramona, California. By the age of sixteen she had been kicked, trampled, bitten and bucked off a horse. She takes the same kind of gumption to get back up on a horse again into her work life. She will always dive head first into innovative ways to enhance videos. In 2005, Elizabeth’s focus was commercial production and some of her clients included Timex, Microsoft, Fitbit, Garmin, Asics, Rubios, and PepsiCo. After working in the industry for four years she wanted to further her education in Film. She studied abroad in Sunderland, England, emphasizing her studies in television production. Then returned home to California to receive a Bachelors of Science degree in Television, Film and New Media Production at San Diego State University. She was given the opportunity to work in Reality Television on shows that included The Amazing Race and Hotel Hell.
Later Elizabeth worked on documentary films travelling to remote regions in Africa, Australia, Iceland, Colombia, Japan, South Korea, Philippines and Nepal. During her travels she worked at 6 different orphanages. When Elizabeth isn’t working in production, she is working towards another goal of impacting orphans lives and underprivileged children in her own city. She volunteers at her local church teaching Sunday school, leading music with her brother, helps with food bank deliveries and handles logistics for kids summer camps. “All in a day and half a night’s work.”
