Schumacher hosted a discussion on the influence and inspiration of interior design in film and television during Spring Market at the DDB. The panelists' abundance of experience and prestige in the design and production industry had the packed showroom enthralled.
Moderated by Linda Sherbert, Features Editor of Veranda, the panel included Academy Award winner Tony Walton, Cathy Whitlock, Stephen Hendrickson and Andrew Baseman.
"Schumacher really put together the most amazing group of film designers for the panel," said Jason Lowe, Design Professional. "It was incredible to be able to hear from designers who had designed and assembled some of the most iconic rooms ever to appear on film!"
Cathy Whitlock's newest book, Designs on Film: A Century of Hollywood Art Direction was one of the major topics of conversation during the discussion. A perfect fit for the discussion, Cathy's book covers the evolving story of art direction from silent film to present day. We spoke with Cathy after the discussion, amidst her conversations with fans, to talk to her further about the book.
"I really gave my heart and soul to this massive project for the past several years," Cathy said. "Not to mention, too many wondrous hours in the Oscar library and film studio archives. The hardest part for me was paring down which movies to use from a century of unbelievable movies. Unfortunately, many films lacked photographs of the production and there were also several films from the 60s and 70s whose pictures were just thrown out!"
Stay tuned later today for more of our conversation with Cathy on the topic of design in film.
