In Conversation with Murdoch Mysteries

Eleanore Lindo is a graduate of the intensive directing program at the Centre for Advanced Film Studies at the American Film Institute in L.A. The Toronto native credits the program with transforming her “from a director into a filmmaker.” Lindo’s strong work with actors and her distinct visual style are easily detected in the many award-winning hours of television series and movies, anthologies, and specials that she has directed. Her credits span a wide spectrum of genres including comedy, drama, sci-fi, erotica, as well as family and children’s programming, and have earned her such prestigious honours as three Gemini Awards, a Children’s Broadcast Institute Award, the Lillian Gish Award from Women in Film, L.A., a Golden Reel, and two Chris Awards from the Columbus Film Festival. Lindo has directed 18 episodes of Murdoch Mysteries, including the landmark 300th episode.
