Eleanor Yule studied film at Glasgow and Bristol Universities, creating her first network drama, Impulse, for the BBC's 10x10 series while still a student. Her second film for the Tartan Shorts scheme, A Small Deposit (1993), received a BAFTA nomination.
Her documentary work for the BBC includes the award-winning profile of Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Laing, a critically praised Omnibus episode on French painter Pierre Bonnard, and a BAFTA-nominated Bookmark on writer Muriel Spark. Before leaving her staff position, she produced four thirty-minute dramas titled Ghost Stories for Christmas (2000), featuring veteran actor Christopher Lee. More recently, she has collaborated with former Python Michael Palin to create one-off documentaries about Scottish painters. Their latest project, Michael Palin and the Mystery of Hammershoi, aired on BBC1 last year, earning a BAFTA nomination and competing at the Montreal Arts Festival.
Eleanor’s first 30-minute drama, which she wrote and directed, was Lost, a supernatural thriller made for Scottish Screen and SMG's Newfoundland scheme. It was screened in New York, Finland, and Edinburgh, and nominated for a BAFTA new talent award. Her debut feature film, Blinded (2004), a haunting thriller starring Peter Mullan and Jodhi May, won the Newfoundfilms scheme amid strong competition, secured the Jury Award at the Celtic Film Festival on its premiere, received the Silver Screen Award in Los Angeles, and competed at the Taormina, Istanbul, and Moscow film festivals.
She recently completed two drama documentaries for Worldwide Discovery’s new series Crimes That Shook the World (2006): The Green River Killer from Seattle and British murderers Fred and Rosemary West. The series launch achieved the second-highest ratings in Discovery’s broadcasting history.
