“SCAD is thrilled to continue our partnership with Variety by presenting this year’s Creative Impact Award to legendary costume designer Colleen Atwood,” said Christina Routhier, director of the SCAD Savannah Film Festival. “Colleen Atwood’s unparalleled creativity and meticulous craftsmanship have left an indelible mark on filmmaking, with her recent iconic projects including ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ ‘Masters of the Air’ and ‘Wednesday.’ Her work exemplifies the transformative power of costume design in storytelling, providing our students—particularly those in film and television, production design and fashion programs—a profound example of excellence and vision in their field. We are honored to celebrate her incredible contributions to the art of storytelling, and to bring her lasting influence and astonishing expertise to this next generation of designers and filmmakers studying at SCAD.”

"Colleen Atwood is a legend in the field of costume design. I am beyond thrilled to honor her remarkable talent and her contributions to the field. Hearing Colleen talk about her process is something everyone should experience," said Jazz Tangcay, senior artisans editor at Variety. "The Creative Impact Award celebrates the best. Rob Marshall and Tim Burton are just two directors who have her as their go-to. Her work on 'Beetlejuice 2' and 'Masters of the Air' is a testament to her range and vision. I can't wait to sit down with her for what promises to be an exciting career retrospective at the SCAD Savannah Film Festival."
