AMERICAN FICTION, first time director Cord Jefferson’s film, based on the novel ERASURE by Percival Everett, reveals the wry story of novelist Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, whose life can change on a lark…& does! Satire at its best! Set Decorator Kyra Friedman Curcio SDSA and Production Designer Jonathan Guggenheim expertly craft settings: the family Victorian manse and beach house, personal living spaces and publishing world offices, to extend the perception of characters. Cathy T Marshall sits in with the Décor/Design pair to discuss, among aspects of visual storytelling, the import of artwork, how books can make or break a set and working with practical locations to bring the layered life of characters an honest reality.

Great episode! Beautiful movie and set decor. Loved the beach house. The wallpaper and art really made it all feel so warm.
