• 2013 – Moonfleet.  Moonfleet is a British period television drama series which aired on Sky One in 2013. It is based on the classic 1898 adventure novel Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner, about smuggling on the Dorset coast in the eighteenth century.  https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3088578/​

​

• 2021 – The Silence of Mercy. Directed by The Handmaid’s Tale episodic director Floria Sigismondi, this movie follows a woman who chooses a life enclosed, to face her personal demons as she’s challenged to break the walls of morality. This was a visually strong film inspired by painters Bruegel and Bosch, with very detailed sets. Our opera stage set featured rotted fruit garlands, flying owls and ravens and a feast of offal. It also allowed me to venture into areas like head dress design which made it into the title card of the film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13830352/
