Becky joined the ICO in June 2024 after film booking with Indy Cinema Group for six years and most recently with the BFI. After graduating from the University of Manchester in Film Studies, Becky wanted to pursue her love of film programming, so moved to Scotland to complete a Masters in Film, Exhibition and Curation at the University of Edinburgh. She remained in Edinburgh for ten years and went on to work at several film festivals including Edinburgh International Film Festival, Sheffield Doc/Fest and Berwick Film and Media Arts Festival.
