Guest Bio:

AFFONSO GONÇALVES, ACE (Co-Editor) is a distinguished Brazilian‑American film editor whose career spans decades and includes collaborations with highly respected directors like Todd Haynes, Jim Jarmusch, Benh Zeitlin, and more.

Fiona Crombie is an Australian production designer based in London. Originally trained as a theatre set and costume designer, Fiona decided to switch her path after 10 years of working in the Australian theatre industry. Commercials, short films and video clips became her film school. Then in 2010, Fiona production and costume designed her first feature, The Snowtown Murders. Crombie’s following projects include Yorgos Lanthimos’ The Favourite, Jane Campion’s Top Of the Lake, Craig Gillespie’s Cruella, Ari Aster’s Beau is Afraid and Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17. Fiona’s most recent film is HAMNET with Director Chloé Zhao.


Malgosia Turzanska was born and raised in Krakow, Poland. She has a BFA in Costume Design from DAMU in Prague and an MFA in Costume Design from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Her design credits include Season 1 of Stranger Things, which earned her a CDG nomination for Excellence in Period TV, and Green Knight (CDG nomination for Sci-Fi/Fantasy). She also designed the horror films X and Pearl starring Mia Goth, which inspired many a Halloween costume over the past years. Her most recent work includes two book adaptations: Clint Bentley’s Train Dreams and Chloé Zhao’s HAMNET starring Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal.


Malgosia lives in a tiny hamlet in upstate New York with cinematographer husband Joe Anderson and when not designing costumes, she makes textile sculptures and useless, impractical furniture.
