OPENING CREDITS The film & TV podcast meeting the crew behind the camera.

15/05/2026

Welcome to OPENING CREDITS®, the podcast that goes behind-the-scenes of the latest and greatest films and TV shows to meet the crew behind the camera.

As two Graphic Designers who’ve dabbled in the film industry, we realised that today’s relentless streaming and never-ending content has made it feel more closed off than ever, and audiences rarely get to see how any of it actually gets made anymore.

So, with the hope that other people also care about this stuff, we’ve set out to pull back the curtain on the world of filmmaking and demystify it for both nerds and newbies alike.

Join us as we visit film sets, costume workshops, VFX studios, film screenings and press junkets to find out how it all works and ask the stupid questions so you don’t have to.

We’re 5 seasons in at this point, so we’ve got plenty of episodes in the back catalogue for you to binge on, featuring incredible guests such as:
‘Baby Reindeer’ Editor
‘Dept. Q’ Creator Scott Frank
‘Bridgerton’ Hair & Makeup Designer
‘Dune: Part Two’ VFX Artists
‘Paddington in Peru’ Production Designer
‘KAOS’ Director
‘Succession’ Titles Designers
‘Black Doves’ Writer
‘The Masked Singer’ Costume Designers
‘Barbie’ Graphic Designers

Expect stories and insights from the best creative minds in the business, and also us dressing up as Harry and Marv from ‘Home Alone’. It’s all about balance.

Available now!

Your freelancing Agony Aunt will see you now!

Laura is standing by to answer all your questions about freelancing in the film industry, whether you should put cream or jam on your scone first*, and the meaning of life in general. Okay, only the first one may be true, but if you don’t ask you don’t get.

This is your chance to pick the brains of a proper film creative of ‘Paddington in Peru’ and ‘Dungeons & Dragons’ fame, so what are you waiting for?

Send your questions via DM or by commenting below and Laura will make a fancy reel to answer them.

*if you put jam on first we can’t be friends.

👋 Struggling to get into the film industry? Drowning in portfolio decisions? Or just wondering what the hell graphic design for Film & TV is? You’re not alone, and I’m here to help! I wouldn’t be where I am today without some pretty fantastic people who answered all of my questions when I was younger, without making me feel like I should already know the answer (although they probably could have told me to stop turning up to work hungover, it really was deeply unprofessional).

🎬 We often ask our guests on the pod for their advice for newbies, so as someone with a bit of experience in The Biz myself I thought I’d have a crack at sharing what I’ve learnt along the way. I know it can be overwhelming if you’re just starting out, so think of me as your very unofficial, totally biased mentor.

✍️ Got a question? Pop it in the comments or send us a DM. I’ll pick one each week and answer it in Reel form for your viewing pleasure (and Lord knows the Algo Gods love a video).

Your future Agony Aunt, Laura
(name pending, that one is s**t)

We went to our first ever press junket!

‘Dept. Q’ is Netflix’s new Edinburgh-based detective drama, so as a former detective and a former resident of Edinburgh, respectively, we jumped at the chance to sit down with the show’s Writer and Director, Scott Frank.

In this episode, as well as chatting with Scott about deep-fried Mars bars (among other things) we also take you behind-the-scenes of press junket itself, because if you’re like us, you have no idea how they work either.

The podcast is out now, and in another first, you can watch our full conversation with Scott on YouTube!

https://youtu.be/8zBYUPN0Sk0?si=RT_2f1qfLR93uv1v

Let us know how we did and if you’d like to see more in-person interviews (also subscribe to our YouTube channel while you’re there, please and thank you).
