Eleanor is delighted to give Zornitsa her time to shine bright on their now global roster.
If there’s one thing that you should know straight away about director Zornitsa Dimitrova, it’s that she alone determines her path. With a clear mission to leave the world better than she found it through bold, uncompromising stories, Zornitsa’s singularity of purpose drives her to blaze new trails, including the one that led her to Eleanor Films.
Zornitsa’s story began in Bulgaria, before moving to Germany to pursue filmmaking. There, her creativity unfurled as she graduated from the prestigious Film Academy Baden-Württemberg with a specialty in directing commercials, and fed her inspiration through exposure to a wide swath of films.
After years of tuning in to her voice and honing her craft, she has evoked a response from the industry, earning professional recognition and receiving awards from The Clios, Porsche, Berlin Commercial, 1.4 and YDA. Notably, her short film A Dark Moment of Faith was featured at numerous film festivals including Cannes, Venezia Shorts, Ciclope, Aesthetica and Hollywood Shortsfest. And her commercial reel boasts a roster of international brands and clients such as McDonald’s, Ebay, Virgin Media, Nivea, HEAD, Bosch, Emmy and the German government.
“What immediately struck me about Zornitsa was the exceptional purity of her craft,” says Sophie Gold, President of Eleanor Films. “The way she chronicles the journeys of her characters never feels forced, rather, she simply captures the story in its purest form. She lets inspiration flow, rather than trying to make it into something that it's not. To me, that’s the hallmark of a creative person who understands that sometimes, you just have to let the story unfold.”
“Zornitsa's work has a beautiful aesthetic that draws you in instantly, with engaging topics and masterful flow, her pieces are just joyous to watch,” says Josie Juneau, Managing Director of Eleanor UK. “The level of emotion she's able to infuse into her work is just incredible."
“Signing with Eleanor feels like the start of a wondrous adventure to explore the unconventional side of my work further,” agrees Zornitsa. “Since the beginning, we’ve shared the same thoughts and vision, making this an intuitive choice for me.”
Eleanor is delighted to give Zornitsa her time to shine bright on their now global roster.
