With her behind-the-scenes photos as well as her chronological walk-through of the design and build stages, Prevost’s presentation for UCI students showed just how much detail goes into TV and film sets. “I am grateful every day that this is where my career has landed,” said Prevost. “It was really hard the first years out of grad school with the recession
and just not knowing if I had made the right choice going into a career like this. But since 2014, I have had no regrets, no doubts, and I have been having the time of my life.” To see Darcy Prevost’s work come to life onscreen, check out Earth to Ned, now streaming on Disney+.
