We had the good fortune of connecting with Sophie Gold and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sophie, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
I wake up early, Read a lot and I’m always networking.

What should our readers know about your business?
Eleanor shines a bright light on tastemakers and visionaries.

We work in relentless pursuit to champion the creative ideas of experienced and fresh voices across mediums. True to our name, we are driven to elicit the Spirit of Ecstasy for our Creatives, the inimitable sensation that develops when ideas are brought to fruition.

Whether it’s commercials, music videos, branded content, documentaries, shorts, features, or television, we believe that a Director is not just one thing; they are creative vessels reaching for their north star, and our mission is to help their ideas find expression, no matter the medium.

We are adept at trailblazing new paths and pushing the boundaries of creative possibilities. As the only Black, certified female-owned commercial production company in the US, we advocate for diversity within the industry so that our solo position within it is not long lived.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Courage Bagels in East Hollywood, Found Oyster also in East Hollywood, Huntington library, Various beaches along the PCH.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I got my work ethic, tenacity, strength, charm and humor from my Mum. She taught me so much in the years she was on this planet. She died when I was 14. The 48 Laws of Power taught me how to understand people better, The Alchemist taught me how to trust my initiation, Platos republic taught me how to be a good citizen, how to critically think and the principles of stoicism.
