Growing up in the English Midlands, Georgina Hayns defied

academic norms, discovering her passion for the arts in a
technical college. Her journey reflects the transformative power
of parental support and prioritizing passion over conformity.

From childhood struggles to professional success, Georgina's

story is a testament to embracing individuality. Her career
trajectory highlights the importance of internships, networking,
and mentorship. Working with industry giants like McKinnon and
Saunders and collaborating with Tim Burton shaped her career and
honed her craft.

Delving into the intricacies of puppetry, we explore

armature-making, resilience, leadership in creative teams and the
culmination of all her training coming together in Guillermo del
Toro's Pinocchio. Georgina's experiences offer a rare glimpse into
the elusive world of stop-motion animation.
