About Me
My name is Eleanor, and I’m an experienced Assistant Editor with over six years in the industry, working across both feature films and episodic television. My credits include Afterburn starring Samuel L. Jackson, Snow White, The Buccaneers, Slow Horses with Gary Oldman and Kristin Scott Thomas, Temple, and Roadkill — with projects spanning major networks such as Disney, Apple TV+, HBO, BBC, and ITV.
​
I’m deeply passionate about supporting others and uplifting the role of the Assistant Editor and have recently produced The Assistant Editor’s Toolkit and Skills Checklists for the Editorial Department - groundbreaking and innovative resources that British Film Editors, ScreenSkills, and Bectu have recognised. I have reviewed applications for Screen Skills Trainee Finder and regularly speak at organisations and universities, including ScreenSkills, Bectu, Cambridge University, Solent University, and Elstree Screen Arts.

Whether you're a student googling "how to become an Editor" for the first time, a Post Production Runner looking to break into scripted, an Edit Trainee learning new skills, or a 2nd Assistant Editor looking for your next job - I have been there and I have got your back.
