Bridget was also the co-founder Bright Young Things Film Club, which from 2013-2016 ran an annual film series in London supporting up-and-coming filmmakers. A long-time journalist, Bridget worked at Vanity Fair for eight years, during which she was the Associate Editor, Print & Digital, and she remains the London Correspondent for Vanityfair.com.
