The Electric Theatre Collective executive producer on her own personal ambitions as a producer, problem solving on set and the work/life balance, as part of LBB’s Meet Your Makers series.

With over a decade of experience in visual effects and an extensive client base, Arianna Maniscalco is a dab hand at producing ground-breaking work.

An Electric Theatre Collective OG, she’s honed her craft and grown alongside the company since 2014, producing standout work for major brands including Tesco, Sky, Lycra and Mercedes along the way.

She’s collabed with top tier directors, including Jeff Low, Alaska, Leigh Powis and Michel Gondry – whose short film ‘Detour’ (shot entirely on an iPhone) remains a particular career highlight. Before crossing over into adland, Ari cut her teeth on the TV side, working on iconic music entertainment shows including ‘Later… With Jools Holland’, ‘Top of the Pops’ and coverage of ‘Glastonbury’.

Below Arianna spoke with LBB to look back on beginning her career in TV production, the resilience and determination required to be a good producer as well as experience working with Michel Gondry.
