Anna Sheldrake


Production Designer

From a standing start, Anna’s career trajectory in the art department has been pretty impressive. Her experience covers both period and contemporary drama and comedy as well as commercials, and her first major feature film as production designer ‘People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan’ earned her a British Film Designers Guild award nomination.

She has worked on multiple productions for nearly all of the major networks (BBC, ITV, Channel Four, Sky, HBO, and Amazon Prime) and with award-winning directors like Dominic Savage and Paulo Sorrentino. Her recent collaboration with director James De Frond on Channel Four’s two-season and wildly under-rated ‘The Curse’ had multiple 5 star reviews and the world she created was described by one reviewer as ‘lovingly constructed’ and ‘gorgeously rendered’. She is based in London and available for work worldwide.

You & Me

Production Designer

“There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Anna Sheldrake's artistry and capability. She is the perfect mix of inventive creativity and pragmatic problem solving required of a high-end Production Designer. Her results on screen are as exceptional as her budgetary, logistical and team management. After working with her once, you will - like me - seldom wish to work with a different Designer again.”

Dan Kay - UK Line Producer on Paolo Sorrentino’s 'The New Pope'
