Feedback:
“Eleonora worked as script advisor and editor for a feature film script I was writing in May of 2019. I was very impressed with her professionalism and expertise. She is clearly a talented writer herself and I found this invaluable in her feedback regarding the structure of my script as well as advice on what could be edited .” Paul Heary, Writer/Director, Ireland
“The script The Slave is great. A really atmospheric, visual story“. Eleanor Bowman, Director of Photography, Ireland, UK
“The Slave is a subtle script with great depth and complexity at its heart. It is an atmospheric and haunting story of loneliness, isolation, fear, loss and separation. It is a story of the human condition.” Karen Griffin, Actress, Ireland
“I really enjoyed reading The Slave, the script is so beautifully visual and I think Lisa would be a great role for any young actor to play. As the film is mainly focused on two characters, it has potential to be something really special.” Eva-Jane Gaffney, Actress, Ireland
“L’Uomo di Carta – Opera segnalata per l’inventività, insieme acribica e scanzonata, con cui ricostruisce, secondo gli schemi del romanzo filosofico e di formazione, il quadro della Russia nell’ultimo scorcio del grand siècle“. Giuria Premio Italo Calvino XVII edizione, Italia
