International Production Design Week 2023

By Events, Films & series, Interview

This year, for the first time in entertainment history, the craft of production design will be celebrated in worldwide events during International Production Design Week. Between 20th and 29th October 2023 events will take place in various countries, in person and online, and will include panels, workshops, screenings, lectures, guided tours, set visits and social gatherings.

We’d like to recommend two interesting panel talks with Mara Lepere-Schloop: an online event about the making of the Art Directors Guild Award winner Pachinko and an offline event about Production design in New Orleans – where the Art Directors Guild Award nominee Interview with the Vampire series was filmed.

We are really proud that we’ve had the chance to help Mara in the production design processes of both series.
