PRODUCTION DESIGN PROCESS - 2026

Production Design from Page to Screen

Thursday, October 15 at 4:00 p.m. PT (Zoom)

Join Production Design Discipline Head Victoria Paul (MY COUSIN VINNIE, STEAL MAGNOLIAS) for an in-depth analysis of how Production Design informs the story and the world the characters inhabit. Victoria will discuss the path the Production Designer takes to move from a written text to a fully realized, coherent, physical universe. What are the visual design strategies a Production Designer uses in worldbuilding and character illumination? How does the designer discover the rules of the film’s world?  Plus, Production Design alum Samantha Lam, will join the conversation to discuss how AFI approaches Production Design and how it helped her develop her voice.
