    E17 Patsy ONeill, Makeip Artist
    Jun 25 2025
    Patsy O’Neill is a British make-up artist whose career was founded in the 90’s in MTV and has spanned the world of TV, music, commercials, film and editorial. Patsy was born in 1975 in the shadow of West Ham football ground in East London. Her parents Robert O’Neill, an electrical engineer and Julia Dooley, a nurse & practice manager were Irish immigrants. Patsy is the middle of three children—she has an older brother and younger sister— and was educated at the Ursuline Convent School for Girls in Forest Gate, London. Her love of the arts could be seen in her constant drawings as a child and interest in fashion so it was no surprise that she chose to study Design Fashion Styling For Make - up and Hair at the London College of Fashion from where she graduated in 1993. From there she chose to start working in the business to get hands on experience, which is where her early opportunities created a pathway for her career. She has, she says, done just about everything in the business and loves to share her knowledge by mentoring interns and graduates. Her roster of celebrity clients are some of the most recognizable women on the red carpet and have led her to having her work showcased at the Oscars. Patsy lives in London with her partner Richard Jakes and son Arlo.

  • E15 Shana Hagan, Cinematographer

    E15 Shana Hagan, Cinematographer
    Jun 25 2025
    Shana Hagan, ASC. is an award-winning Cinematographer, who was introduced by fellow cinematographer Gretchen Warthen who ways: “Shana is the biggest documentary female DP/Operator in the world… and one of the kindest DPs I have ever worked with on set. You would never know who she is in the cinematography world without looking her up.” Her work includes DPing the 1997 Oscar-winning Documentary Short BREATHING LESSONS: THE LIFE & WORK OF MARK O’BRIEN and shooting additional cinematography for the 2014 Oscar-winning Best Documentary Feature: 20 FEET FROM STARDOM. She worked on the Oscar nominated 2010 Documentary FOOD, INC., and DP’d the 2020 Oscar nominated Documentary Short: WALK RUN CHA-CHA as well as the 2005 Sundance Film Festival Award Special Jury Prize Winner - AFTER INNOCENCE and the 2012 Sundance Film Festival Award Grand Jury Prize nominee - THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES. Shana has firmly embedded herself in the industry. Born in Phoenix, Arizona, to parents Robert Hagan, MD and Peggy Hagan, a Girl Scout Camp Director and Troop Leader, Shana is the middle of three children. Her parents instilled many important values in her which have helped her throughout her life and career. As a schoolgirl, she became a competitive swimmer at the age of five through to her Freshman year at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where she attended film school. It was a natural career path for the enthusiastic young photographer who had already developed a keen eye for filmmaking. Shana was the ‘official’ family videographer with a curious mind, appetite for storytelling and a passion that grew as she established the foundation for her craft, opening doors and creating opportunities right out of school. Shana was the first woman to shoot on the hit reality series SURVIVOR and was nominated for an Emmy for her work on SURVIVOR: CHINA. She shot four seasons on NBC's PARKS AND RECREATION, was the 2nd Unit DP on Netflix’s ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT and has shot commercial spots for Disney, Electronic Arts, Kohl’s, the US Army, Kodak, Verizon and others. Shana’s current scripted work includes the critically acclaimed, Peabody Award-winning series SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE for HBO and Fox’s half hour docu-comedy WELCOME TO FLATCH. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband Peter, daughter Iris, two dogs and two cats.

    Women whose work Shana admires:
    “I absolutely love Dorothea Lange’s photography. Her work during the depression is some of the best documentary photography there is. See “Migrant Mother” and it’ll rip your heart out. I also love Georgia O’Keeffe – did a doc about her years ago and was just in love with her story, her passion for her work, her friends (Steiglitz, Ansel Adams, etc). Would love to have a drink with her.
