BIO: Judy Becker, a native New Yorker, began her film career in New York's fertile independent film community. A lifelong cinephile, she chooses her projects carefully, and has worked with some of today's most acclaimed directors.


Becker is a long-time collaborator of David O. Russell, including AMERICAN HUSTLE, for which she received an Oscar nomination; THE FIGHTER; SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK; JOY; and his latest untitled feature, which will be released in November 2022.


In addition to Russell, she has collaborated multiple times with Todd Haynes (CAROL, for which she received a BAFTA nomination, and I'M NOT THERE), Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris (RUBY SPARKS and THE BATTLE OF THE SEXES), and Ryan Murphy ('Feud: Bette and Joan', for which she received an Emmy nomination; 'American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace'; 'Pose'; 'Ratched'; and THE BOYS IN THE BAND).


Other collaborations include Ang Lee (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN); Lynne Ramsay (WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN), and Steve McQueen (SHAME). She also designed the pilot of Lena Dunham's 'Girls,' for which she won an Art Directors Guild Award.


She is currently designing Alex Garland's CIVIL WAR, an action epic set in near-future America. After that, she will travel to Poland to design Brady Corbet’s THE BRUTALIST.


Becker lives in Manhattan's Washington Heights with her husband, the editor Michael Taylor, and her feline companion, Spooky. She has spent almost every summer of her life in Truro, MA, and credits the art houses of Provincetown as playing a major role in her cinematic education.
