Elle Ginter

DIRECTOR at Familia

From working on a whale-watching tour boat to appearing as an extra in an Adam Sandler movie, award-winning director Elle Ginter, (who’s newly signed to UK-based Familia), has followed an unorthodox career path. Growing up in Poughkeepsie, New York, Ginter was home-schooled until the age of 11, but her “free-spirited” childhood was punctuated by her mother’s recurring health issues. Long hours spent daydreaming in hospital waiting rooms have inevitably influenced her work. “I never put it together until this year, but these trends of escapism in my films come from my childhood,” she says.
