Elijah Baran is the genie at the center of The Great and Powerful Genie, played by actor Eric Guilmette. In the ReelShort movie, Elijah is a powerful genie who has spent thousands of years bound to a magic lamp and granting wishes.
After Steven Parrish makes his final wish, Elijah is offered a path to freedom. To fulfill the agreement, he takes human form and marries Steven's granddaughter, Christine Parrish, for five years.
Although Elijah quietly uses his powers and abilities to help Christine build her success, he is repeatedly underestimated and belittled. As the marriage continues, Elijah begins to question whether staying with Christine is worth the price of the freedom he has waited thousands of years to gain.
Elijah's story is closely tied to Christine, their unusual marriage agreement
and his attempt to build a life after leaving the magic lamp behind.
