SANTA MONICA, USA – ELEANOR, the fiercely creative production company behind some of the most visually arresting campaigns in recent memory, welcomes Duran Sodré to its US roster. Known for transforming raw human emotion into masterfully composed visual stories, Sodré brings his unmistakable voice to the American commercial landscape.
With a camera that listens as much as it sees, Duran Sodré has built a career on moments that linger in the heart long after the final frame. His acclaimed works, such as the searingly powerful Ashe Versus for Moderna x US Open and the vibrant cultural tribute Nuestros Manos for Victoria, are not just films – they are sensorial experiences, visual essays steeped in nuance and soul.
Sodré explains, “I don’t like to judge things, I like to understand things. This is a feature of me, my way to live. It is why I am able to investigate things and collaborate on things.”
That spirit of curiosity has become his signature – one that has earned him a constellation of international accolades, from Cannes Lions to Ciclope, D&AD to the Clios. But beyond the trophies, it’s his treatment of story which is lyrical, immersive, tender all at once that cements his place among the new vanguard of global storytellers.
On joining ELEANOR, Sodré celebrates feeling electrified by the intention and ambition he found from his new directorial home. “This urge to grow, this mission to evolve, I like that drive in the production company,” he said. “I want to grow together. I’m excited to work in the American market.”
In the words of ELEANOR president Sophie Gold, “With a quiet humility and a fierce collaborative spirit, Sodré tells stories that unfold like poetry – each frame a study in humanity, intimacy, and instinct.”
