comedy writer and director

I'm Eleanor, this is my website until myspace makes a comeback.
I write and direct comedy, like the short film I've just made starring comedians Kate Butch, Helen Bauer and Mary O'Connell. We only had to ask one qualified copyright lawyer to check if I could use the brand name "hobnob", so the process was a massive success.

short film

"Slag-Offers" is a short, gay mockumentary film set in a community centre, written and directed by me. We successfully raised the money for this short with 53 backers through Crowdfunder.To make it, producer Natalia and I teamed up with Evulve Productions, supported by the Camden Collective and Camden Town Unlimited (CTU), allowing us to use one of their buildings for filming in the heart of Camden.

• Read about the film in DIVA magazine.

writing

I write comedy for places like BBC Radio 4 Extra (Newsjack, DMs are Open), BBC Radio Scotland (Breaking the News), Chaff Magazine, satire website Reductress and various folders in my own google drive.To prove I'm not a robot without using a CAPTCHA, below are links to competitions I've placed in like a little show pony.
