The Fourth Wall

Our interview with Emmy-nominated production designer Drew Boughton is a true example of The Fourth Wall's mission: to allow creative people to talk directly to our audience in a voice that's not always heard. What does a production designer do? How did Boughton create the looks for the various cultures represented in the alternate 1960s history of The Man in the High Castle? We got some great insight into how a set goes from drawing to construction in this episode of the podcast.
