Alice Guy-Blaché
Biography
Alice Guy-Blaché (July 1, 1873 – March 24, 1968) is generally considered to be the world's first female director. French-born Alice Guy entered the film business as a secretary at Gaumont-Paris in 1896. The next year Gaumont changed from manufacturing cameras to producing movies, and Guy became one of its first film directors. She impressed the company so much with the output (she averaged two two-reelers a week) and quality of her productions that by 1905 she was made the company's production director, supervising the company's other directors. In 1907 she married Herbert Blaché, an Englishman who ran the company's British and German offices. The pair soon went to the U.S. to set up the company's operations there. In 1910 she set up her own production company in New York and built a studio in Fort Lee, New Jersey. After a period of critical and financial success, her company's fortunes declined and she eventually shut down the studio. Although she secured work directing films for several major Hollywood studios, she returned to France in 1922 after her divorce from Blache. She was never able to secure any directorial jobs there, and never made a film again. In 1964 she returned to the U.S. and lived in Mahwah, New Jersey - not far from where her original studios were - with her daughters, where she died in 1968.

He studied at RADA and made his screen debut at Bournemouth in 1927. A year later he made his first appearance on stage in Many Waters at the Ambassadors Theatre and went into films the following year.

He was married twice, including the actress Dorothy Hyson (1914–1996) and Suzanne Weldon (1921–1995), fathering two children, Lucinda and Robert (Giles). He died from natural causes in Leucadia, Encinitas, California, aged 89. His ashes were scattered into the Pacific Ocean.

Grace Snell
Biography
Grace Snell is a British costume designer born in Norwich and raised with a strong connection to craftsmanship—her grandmother worked as a machinist in the 1960s and ’70s, making sheepskin coats. After studying a foundation diploma at Camberwell College of Art, she went on to earn a BA in Theatre Design with a focus on Costume Interpretation from Wimbledon College of Art in 2012. She began her career working in theatre, music videos, commercials, and short films, quickly gaining recognition for her creativity and ability to deliver on tight budgets. Among her early accolades was a UK MVA nomination for Best Styling in 2017 for her work on a music promo with Police Dog Hogan, and a British Craft Arrow nomination in 2019 for her advertising roster.
Her breakout mainstream work came with Joanna Hogg’s film The Souvenir (2019), for which Snell was nominated for Best Costume Design at the British Independent Film Awards 2019. This first collaboration with Hogg led to her being invited to design The Souvenir Part II, released in 2021. Snell’s designs for the sequel earned her the Best Costume Design award at the 2021 British Independent Film Awards, having been shortlisted the previous year. She also worked on the Billie Piper–directed film Rare Beasts, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2019, and on Mogul Mowgli, directed by Bassam Tariq, which premiered at the Berlinale in 2020 and won the FIPRESCI International Critics Prize.
On television, Snell designed costumes for the Sky Atlantic series I Hate Suzie, co-created by Billie Piper and Lucy Prebble. That show received a BAFTA nomination, and British Vogue singled out her costume work as “full of standout pieces.” At the same time, the Evening Standard included it in its “Best Costumes in TV 2020” list. She costume designed The Gold (BBC), a two-series six-part drama series set in the 1980s. The first series earned a BAFTA Craft Award nomination for Drama Series in 2024; Snell returned to design the costumes for the second series, which wrapped in spring 2024 and is expected to be released in 2025.
In the past few years, she designed The Outrun, a feature film adaptation directed by Nora Fingscheidt that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2024, and Pillion, a queer romance directed by Harry Lighton starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, which debuted in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes in 2025. Snell has also contributed to numerous high-profile advertising campaigns for brands such as Guinness, PlayStation, Ford, Adidas, Amazon, and Sainsbury’s, earning a nomination for Best Costume at the British Arrows Craft Awards in 2019.
Beyond her design credits, Grace Snell has served as a head judge on industry juries, including for the British Arrows and the international Shots Awards in the Casting/Production & Styling category.
