Sari Ann Villagomez's Lounge Discussions

Hello! I'm a costume designer from Puerto Rico, now living in LA. I'm still relatively new to the job (I worked as a script supervisor for 2 years), but I'm already working on designing my first short films, which is exciting. I have an MA in history, so my main focus is period pieces. I love anything historical. I specialize in 16th, 18th, and 19th century English and French fashion, but I'm always looking to expand my research base.

Hello! I moved to LA a year and a half ago to become a script supervisor and, since then, I've worked on five features and a lot of other fun projects. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4004791/ Sari Ann Villagomez http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4004791/

Hello! I moved to LA a year ago from the Chicago area to become a script supervisor and it's been wonderful so far. I've worked on four features, as well as other film projects, and I'm looking to work on more.

I'm a Producer/Director/Writer/Composer/Serial Entrepreneur looking to put together a new crew for my production company. My idea is to have a crew that knows each other and works well together. Instead of working with newbies for each and every film, I want a crack team that knows what to do and gets the job done. If you're interested in being part of a team - rather than applying for the next gig, send me a message! Thanks
