Career
Elders began his career in the 1980s as a screenwriter based in Southern California. In the length of his career, he has sold 23 of his 26 original screenplays.[1][2] He made his debut with Iron Eagle, a military action-adventure film that predated the similarly-themed Top Gun by several months.[3] Though the film was not a major financial or critical success, it was enough of a success on home video to spawn several sequels, two of which Elders wrote and served as 2nd unit director on.[4]
He made his directorial debut with the 1999 action comedy film Simon Sez starring Dennis Rodman and Dane Cook.[5][6] He wrote the 2009 techno-thriller Echelon Conspiracy. He published Room 502, his first novel in 2015.[7]
