About

Hi, my name's Ell or Eleanor. I'm a director from South East London (proudly). I trained as a professional dancer at The BRIT School, LIPA and London Contemporary Dance School. I love movement, but decided I wanted to be behind the camera instead of in front. 

I love working in film with my additional knowledge in dance, because I love to add movement to everything I work on. Whether that is the camera and lighting choreography, or just the bodies in space too. 

Since becoming a Director five years ago, I have now worked with artists like KWN, James Arthur, Sasha Keable, Qing Madi, London Grammar, Jayo, Odeal, Natalie Shay, and Nia Smith. Whilst working with brands and charities like Schwarzkopf, VEVO, Nike, Pull and Bear, Sadlers Wells, and Youth Beyond Borders. I'm extremely grateful to have worked on projects whether that was a Live session, Music Video, Documentary, or Branded Content Piece. I'm proud to say I am now an Award Winning Director, and hope for many more wins. 

Alongside my work in Direction,  I'm extremely passionate about helping others through art and yoga.  I won "The Paul McCartney's Human Spirit Award", for my volunteering work working with refugees, the homeless community in Liverpool and London, and teaching dance and yoga to those with additional needs.I was one of five women who curated award winning community garden, "Gaia's Garden". In December 2024 I donated a kidney to my mum, this experience was life changing for both me and my family. I think it has made me a better human, daughter, partner, friend, and film maker.

Community will always be at the base of my work, I'm passionate about telling stories fuelled by art for change. I love that I am part of the movement of women creating change for other women and marginalised groups in the industry.
I will always lead a project with love and peace, so that we can all work to the best of our ability. 

With Love,
Ell x
