On this episode, I speak with Production Designer Mark Ricker and Set Decorator Cherish Hale. FX's Feud: Capote vs. the Swans is an eight episode limited series based on the best-selling book “Capote‘s Women: A True Story of Love, Betrayal, and a Swan Song for an Era" by Lawrence Leamer. (A book I devoured over last summer).The sets that Mark and Cherish create are lush, glamorous and enchanting. They previously collaborated on “Escape from Dennemora” and the Netflix series “Halston” and again their latest work is simply stunning. I’m a huge fan of Mark's work. I must have watched “Julie & Julia” a million times! Cherish has been a Set Decorator for more than 25 years and has Emmy, ADG and SDSA nominations and we both went to the same college! Small world!

Welcome to Season 7 of Decorating Pages Podcast! Can't believe it's been two months since the last podcast. The episode is recaps the Design award season of the Emmys, ADG and SDSA awards. I talk about the coming season of the podcast and working since the WGA/SAG strike ended. Excited to have upcoming interviews to share and also continuing with the Design Film Study this year. This episode features Production Designer James Philpott, who is behind Hulu's newest murder mystery series, “Death And Other Details”, starring Mandy Patinkin. The show's main set is an enormous cruise ship in the Art Deco style. We talk about giving the cabins different looks with the different personalities of the characters, transforming the spaces to save stage space, shooting the actual basements of the stages as the bows of the ship, and using color as clues in the story.Are you a fan of TV and film production?
