Starting out as a prop designer, Lydia Fry has been working in art departments for fifteen years on some of the industry’s most acclaimed movies and franchises. Recent art direction credits include Blade Runner 2049, Cruella, Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker, Rogue One, and Spectre.

Having trained at Goldsmiths and Kingston Art School, Charlotte Dirickx has worked as an art director in TV, and is now a set decorator for films, such as Saltburn, Hard Truths, and most recently, The Thing with Feathers.

For our regular industry panels, we invite knowledgeable speakers to discuss their specific branch of the industry, leaving plenty of time for asking questions. After the discussion, we all head into the Garden Bar, to network with fellow members.
