Luke Hancock

Art Director

“Working on the BFI Directors Lab was an absolute joy. Having just finished the film course at BFS, it was a great opportunity to get more experience building, prop sourcing and working on set, only bigger and with a greater opportunity to really get into the details and have fun. It was a new challenge building a set for a story that didn’t exist yet, and then working with directors whom we had no prior relationship with tailor it to their vision - a great experience before graduating and heading out into an industry where you never know what you’ll be hit with next.
