Vivian Gray is a production designer and director of film and narrative media. She received her BFA in Film and Television Production from the USC School of Cinematic Arts and was a recipient of the John Huston Scholarship for Directing. She directed the pilot episode of Provenance, which went on to win “Best Drama” at the 2023 Television Academy College Awards. She most enjoys genre films and horror, and her most recent work can be seen as a production designer in the upcoming horror feature film Obsession (2026), directed by Curry Barker. 

      Her design impulse is equal parts consistency and fluidity. There is only so much control in life - and she considers the making of things our pacifier. In any project, her approach is less about a need to invent than it is to consume: what does the story feel like all together - down to the most pitiful detail. From that point, she believes that making a choice, our most essential and absurd act, has much less of a choking hazard.

      Arguably the most important to note though: she has a rescue senior bunny rabbit named Joy*.
