Today’s episode centers on the powerful and deeply moving design work behind the film *Nickel Boys*, the adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Joining me are two incredible talents: Production Designer Nora Mendis and Set Decorator Monique Champagne, who brought the harrowing yet human story of the Dozier School for Boys to life.  

Led by director RaMell Ross the innovative POV shooting style takes audiences deep into the protagonist’s experience. With the camera primarily showing what the protagonist sees, the set dressing had to authentically reflect this subjective perspective. Nora and Monique meticulously chose items that would naturally populate the protagonist's world while conveying historical accuracy and thematic depth. They sourced authentic materials from places like Etsy and eBay, including 1970s subway coins, bus schedules, refrigerator magnets, fabrics, and more, ensuring each detail felt genuine. They overcame budget constraints and transformed unconventional locations, like an old convent and an Amtrak station, into emotionally charged spaces. This creative approach not only enhanced the visual storytelling but also enriched the film’s emotional and historical resonance.  

This episode is a testament to the power of production design in storytelling. Whether you're a film enthusiast, history buff, or aspiring decorator, the stories shared by Nora and Monique will inspire and educate you on the profound impact of thoughtful dedication of production design and decorating.

I’m thrilled to spotlight the stunning production design behind the film Maria, starring Angelina Jolie about the life of opera singer Maria Callas. Joining me is the brilliant Guy Hendrix Dyas, whose visionary work has brought to life some of the most breathtaking cinematic worlds Inception, Passengers, Spenser and more. In Maria, Guy masterfully crafts a visual narrative that mirrors the emotional and psychological journey of its characters. From designing the main set of the apartment to intricate period details, the design serves as a vital storytelling element. We’ll explore the challenges, inspirations, and creative processes that went into creating this unforgettable world.

On this episode of Decorating Pages Podcast, we dive into the atmospheric world of Gotham City from the series The Penguin. This captivating show explores the city's criminal underbelly, ruled by Oswald Cobblepot, brilliantly portrayed by an unrecognizable Colin Farrell.

Joining me, your host Kim Wannop, are Production Designer Kalina Ivanoff and Set Decorator Rich Murray. They share insights into their bold and immersive design choices that brought Gotham to life.

Kalina and Rich detail how they crafted a world where every element tells a story—crumbling architecture symbolizes Gotham’s decay, while lavish interiors mirror the intense power struggles of its infamous residents. From dimly lit hideouts to the opulent yet ominous halls of Cobblepot’s domain, their meticulous design work shapes the series' visual identity, transporting viewers into a dynamic world as dark and complex as its characters.

Don't miss this in-depth discussion on the art of creating Gotham's unique and gritty atmosphere.
