Georgiana Enders

Her first feature as script supervisor, What Alice Found (2003), was directed by A. Dean Bell, who taught at SUNY Purchase with her father Howard. He was also a former student of Howard's. The film won a special jury prize for emotional truth at Sundance in 2003. Georgiana got to attend the awards ceremony because she picked her name out of a hat for the extra ticket.

Her debut short film, Fresh Hot Pizza (2002), received accolades from festivals such as Williamstown, Chicks with Flicks, The New Filmmaker's Series, Howl Film Festival and Arlene's Grocery Picture Show.

She was accepted into the drama schools of Syracuse University and NYU, but didn't receive enough financial aid to attend. She auditioned for Yale Drama in 1993 while she was studying with Gloria Maddox at the Terry Schreiber Studio in New York where actor Edward Norton also studied.

Dick Smith, the famous Hollywood make-up artist, is a close family friend, and she taught herself to swim in his backyard pool. As a child, she met many of the actors that he worked with including William Hurt just before he shot Altered States (1980).
