S4 | Ep. 6: POOR THINGS Nadia Stacey breaks down William Defoe's face, Emma Stone's eyebrows, and so much more!
Headed your way in the coming weeks is a barrage of Award-Contenders because 'Tis Awards Season. There's no shortage of incredible work to say and today I am bringing you a conversation with returning guest, Nadia Stacey. We are going to break down POOR THINGS and talk about creating Willem Dafoe's face which successfully told it's own story, Emma Stone's evolution as Bella and so much more. Nadia also lets me know about Yorgos' "no wigs" rule and she shares that it was a complete surprise to her that the film would also be shot in black and white and we talk about what she did with that information to adjust accordingly. I know you enjoyed the film (in theaters, I hope!) and now it's time to hear how this incredible artist created these fantastical looks. Enjoy!
