Introduce Yourself : The Happy Set Designer by Cheryl Camacho

Cheryl Camacho

The Happy Set Designer

I don't have a whole lot of experience working as a set designer on the film or theater stage but would love to challenge myself in this space.

How and where do I begin?

Joe Thayer

Hello Cheryl, do you have anything in the way of a portfolio or résumé? It seems like you have not done set design before for film but do you have anything that could give someone an indication of what you’re capable of? I’m producing a short film in New York in the next couple of months and we are looking for a set designer.

Maurice Vaughan

I don't know much about set design, Cheryl Camacho, but I wanted to welcome you to the community.

John Ellis

Get on set, volunteer as a set dresser or set PA. Get to know people in the department. Work hard, be professional, develop relationships.

Cheryl Camacho

Thank you so much for all the great feedback it is much appreciated! I am working on a portfolio now with the previous projects I have done in my conference career and interior redesign and staging projects. Thank you again to all . . .
