Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!
How do you build worlds as vast and visceral as Dune and Arrival? Oscar-winning production designer Patrice Vermette joins Reframe to discuss his decades-long collaboration with Denis Villeneuve, why sets must function as story characters rather than "empty calories," and how practical constraints drive true cinematic magic.

About Reframe
From the publisher's feed
Every story ever told has been shaped by the medium that carried it. From the cave wall and the printing press to the lens, the screen, and the algorithm—the medium is never neutral. A new tool…
isn’t just a better brush; it’s an entirely new canvas.
Hosted by Art Tindsley (founder of creative tech agency Pogo) and David Sheldon-Hicks (CEO, Territory Group), Reframe explores the collision of creativity, technology, and innovation. We challenge the myth that artistic intuition and technical logic belong in separate silos. Instead, we sit down with the makers, engineers, and visionaries operating right in the middle—uncovering how lateral thinking and cutting-edge craft bleed together to shape the future of storytelling.
