Introducing

Eleanor Church

Filmmaker and Photographer

Working through her company Lark Rise Pictures, Eleanor released her first feature documentary, ‘X Trillion’, in 2023. She also directs, films and shoots documentaries in collaboration with others. Eleanor also produces short format films for companies and NGOs on subjects ranging from human rights to the environment. She likes working on a broad range of stories but ethics are a common thread that run throughout her film work. Eleanor’s photography reflects this too but is broader in subject matter – she has shot all over the world but, in recent years, has really enjoyed making films and photo stories within Essex – no less interesting and always rewarding.

Filmmaker and Photographer

“A proud Essex girl, I grew up in the county, went to school in Chelmsford, roamed the countryside around where we lived, moved to London and then abroad for a few years before returning to Colchester to live with my young family. I’m so happy to be back – to enjoy city life but also the estuaries, beaches and landscape that have been such an important part of my appreciation of the natural world. I know I was influenced by the subtle and more obvious nuances of Essex culture growing up and, on returning to the county, I was encouraged and inspired to discover that the treasure trove of creative arts still exists and thrives here today. We have a long, proud history of culture in Essex and it’s important to me that everyone is able to access culture in its various forms, music, art, film, not only as a rewarding and worthwhile career but also to enrich their everyday live.”
