[FRAMED]: Gabrielle Davoine, Line Producer, MTL
[FRAMED] exists to shine light on Framestore’s most fascinating cast of characters: its people. Presented with a probing list of questions and a demandingly short deadline, this feature puts the hopes, dreams, and desktops of our MVPs on the digital wall, for all to see. Welcome to [FRAMED].
What are you guilty of?
I bite my nails to the bone…
What was your last brush with danger?
I did crazy carpet last weekend… if you don’t know what this is, you’re missing out!
Your last brush with greatness?
Got my third dose of the vaccine… this has to end at some point, right?
Your worst character fault?
I’m stubborn!
Your most shining quality?
I’m enthusiastic about pretty much everything!
If you had taken a different path, what would you be doing now?
I would be running a cheese shop or a chocolate factory.
You’re on the run from the law, where are you headed?
Somewhere deep in the forest, by a lake, with a fishing rod.
Who’s your partner-in-crime?
In life: My boyfriend, husband, best friend of the past 18 years, Gabbo. At work: Perdita Carvil - we’ve been on the same projects since we started at Framestore and we share the same passion for chocolate, gossip and Sunday roasts.
Fantasy cellmate?
A magician. If they can’t get us out of there, at least they can entertain us.
