Summary
From creating sets for a room full of production designers at the Art Directors Guild Awards to designing numerous indie films, Megan Elizabeth Bell brings infectious enthusiasm (and animal print) to every project. Discover how watching HARRY POTTER as a kid sparked the question "who gets to decide what Hogwarts looks like?"—and how that curiosity led her to pack a U-Haul, drive cross-country with zero Hollywood connections, and hustle her way into the business. Meg shares the truth about breaking into production design, why she'd rather hire someone with a great attitude than a giant resume, the philosophy that keeps her driving that 2004 Honda Civic to studio lots, and how staying supportive of others' successes beats sitting home sending cold emails.
