Emmy-winning Costume Designer Jacqueline SaintAnne, Creative Director for FIDM's Film & TV Costume Design Program, has been invited to be a juror for "Best Costume Design" and panelist on "Costume Designer as Storyteller and Culture Bearer" at the Oscar-qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival taking place in person at the TCL Chinese Theaters on the historic Hollywood Walk of Fame, and streaming via Bitpix TV, August 11-20, 2022.
Jacqueline SaintAnne was featured in the Winter 2022 Issue of The Costume Designer, the quarterly magazine published by the Costume Designers Guild. In the article, Jacqueline talks about receiving a call from FIDM four years ago, asking her to become the Creative Director of the Film & TV Costume Design program at the college. “I was deeply honored,” she told the magazine. “It’s a satisfying solution to my longtime desire to infuse costume design education with things I wish I had known when I started designing.”
Jacqueline holds a Masters Degree from the Ring Theatre at University of Miami and has designed costumes for 65 stage plays, 14 films, 13 television series, 53 movies of the week, and a staggering 61 operas. In addition, she designed over 250 commercials. She is President Emeritus of the Costume Designers Guild and won awards such as the Dramalogue and the Los Angeles Theatre Circle Award.
