May Davies
I am a Cumbrian born, London based production designer working in film and TV, event installation and live performance. I have designed feature films for cinema release, MUBI and NETFLIX, stage performances for venues including The Park and The Pleasance, and sets for art installation including exhibitions at The Barbican.
I have 10+ years experience in community engagement for underrepresented people in the industry through my work at leading film and arts charity, Signal Film and Media in Barrow-in-Furness. I remain committed to encouraging new faces into the industry through mentoring (BFI Film Academy and Bafta Crew), and by taking part in events with the British Film Designers Guild and The Production Designer’s Collective.
Since completing an MA with distinction in theatre design at Wimbledon College of Art 2016, the scenographic process of stage design remains a firm influence for my work in film. I am proud to be a committee member for the SBTD giving me the opportunity to get involved in the Prague Quadrennial 2019, 2023 and 2027 as a co-curator/ designer.
