Ever wondered what the creative process is behind the films, tv shows and theatre productions you watch? Well, crew chats is a new podcast going behind the scenes and chatting to the crew that help make these productions.

For this episode I am joined by three friends, Jenni Carvell Wood Beth Sparkes and Bobbie Edwards, all who currently work in the film industry. Jenni began her career as a dancer studying at the southeast theatre school. She has had a career dancing all over the UK in musical theatre shows until hanging up her shoes in her early 30’s. This is when she became a personal dresser in west end theatre. After 10 years of theatre dressing she became a personal standby to a leading actress in film and television.

Beth studied Costume with Performance Design at Arts University Bournemouth. She started her costume career as a trainee on the BBCs New Tricks, she has worked as a standby and she now works in the industry as a costume coordinator.

Bobbie also studied Costume with Performance Design at Arts University Bournemouth she started her career as a trainee and has worked as a standby, working as a coordinator and supervising and now works full time as an Assistant Designer, most recently working on Good Omens and Peaky Blinders.
