The Framestore Podcast is back!

In this episode, we're celebrating and reflecting on this year's Pride Month. We have two special guests joining us for the traditional 'Dailies session,' our 13-question interview that will be divided into two parts.

Our first guest is Jack Grealish, a London-based VFX Shoot Manager. Jack started as a Framestore Runner in 2013 and has rapidly progressed in his production career over the past 10 years, working as an Assistant, Coordinator, Production Manager, Associate Producer, and now in a unique on-set production role.

Our second guest is Gabbi Segall, based in LA and serving as the Studio Operations Lead. Gabbi graduated in psychology from California State University and entered the VFX industry at MPC in 2017. She joined Framestore the following year as a Scheduler and quickly climbed the ranks, becoming the Studio Operations Lead in just 17 months.

Both Gabbi and Jack are not only talented members of the Framestore community but also identify with Pride. Join us as we delve into their experiences and insights in this special Pride-themed episode.
