Hi, I’m Scarlett Gielgud—a practical, methodical creator with roots in pharmacy and a growing portfolio in film and animation. I excel at turning ideas into workable plans, coordinating teams, and delivering results on set. Communication, collaboration, and boosting morale are my strengths, and I bring hands-on experience from live-action shoots and animation pipelines. I’ve directed on student and independent projects, built props and costumes for period pieces, and led 2D animation and storyboarding efforts. I enjoy solving problems on set and in post, and I’m always eager to learn new techniques to bring a project to life.
