Who is Eléonore Hendricks?

Eleonore Hendricks is an actress, photographer and casting director based out of New York City. As an actress she is known for her performances and collaboration with the new school of New York film such as the Safdie Brothers in their films Pleasure of Being Robbed, Daddy Longlegs and The Black Balloon, Maiko Endo in Kuichisan, and Dustin Guy Defa, working alongside actor/filmmaker Kentucker Audley in last year's Bad Fever. She has worked with Dito Montiel in Guide to Recognizing Your Saints and in the upcoming Boulevard starring Bob Odenkirk and Robin Williams. There are too many to list but its fair to say if you see a movie she is in you see a movie she believes in.

As a casting director she learned her trade streetcasting and has a reputation for immersive work, delving into the communities surrounding the film, often finding non-actors in such as films as Stand Clear of the Closing Doors by Sam Fleischner which premiered at last year's Tribeca Film Festival or Memphis, by Tim Sutton, which premiered at Venice and will be playing at this year's Sundance. Other films she has casted for are Young Bodies Heal Quickly by Andrew T. Betzer, Teenage by Matt Wolf, and Gimme The Loot by Adam Leon. She was the casting director as well as acting coach on Beasts of the Southern Wild, working closely with Quvenzhané Wallis and Dwight Henry.
