About
Hi! I’m Eleanor, a 2nd Assistant Editor in High End TV Drama and Film with previous experience on Slow Horses (Apple TV+), Temple S2 (Sky) and Roadkill (BBC). My email address is eleanor@eleanoradler.co.uk.
After finishing Sixth Form, I worked as a Post Production Runner in London whilst editing short films on the side. Whilst running I enjoyed attending editing masterclasses, networking events, and throwing myself in the deep end to learn more about the industry.
I wished to transition into TV Drama and was selected for Screen Skills High End TV Trainee Finder 2020-2021 as an Edit Trainee. Since then, I’ve loved being part of the editorial teams on Roadkill, Temple Season 2 and was thrilled to be promoted to 2nd Assistant Editor on my current production, Slow Horses.
Before I took my first steps into the industry, I didn't know where to start, let alone how to 'break in'. If you are reading this in the same situation, hello, welcome, and don't worry! Check out this collection of resources that I've personally found helpful on the 'Resources' page, 'An Introduction To The Industry' page, and within my blog.
I enjoy being an active member of the post production community. I sit on BECTU’s Post Production & Facilities committee and was thrilled to have had the opportunity to organise and host webinars on post production running and assistant editing for Screen Skills, The Rough Assembly and BECTU including:
