Lucy Pardee is a researcher and BAFTA-winning casting director. Since starting her career in 2004, Lucy has been drawn to stories that haven’t been told and people who might not otherwise be seen. Known for discovering and nurturing newcomers to the industry, she combines community-facing work with more traditional routes to create fresh perspectives. She is committed to levelling the playing field and improving access to the industry, as well as working with newcomers behind the camera, too.
BIRD is her fourth collaboration with Andrea Arnold, having previously cast WUTHERING HEIGHTS, AMERICAN HONEY, and discovered Katie Jarvis in FISH TANK.  Lucy is also known for her casting on Sarah Gavron’s ROCKS, for which she won a BAFTA and a BIFA. Lucy was also BAFTA nominated for her casting on Charlotte Wells’ AFTERSUN, and spent four years working with Jonathan Glazer on the research for the now double Oscar-winning ZONE OF INTEREST.  Other collaborators include Jessica Hausner, Sacha Polak, Daisy-May Hudson, Joe Cornish and Edgar Wright. She is currently working with Lynne Ramsey, Michael Winterbottom and Annie Silverstein.
