Just in time for the holidays, four-time Academy Award-nominated production designer Jeannine Oppewall joins us at Union Station Los Angeles to talk about working on Steven Spielberg's Christmas-adjacent film, "Catch Me If You Can". Jeannine discusses using Union Station in a non-traditional fashion; getting lucky with two vacant, mid-century modern airport terminals; what makes the best sets; how life experience came full-circle to inspire one of the major location choices in "Catch Me If You Can"; why you can't trust IMDb locations lists, and much more. Our 25th episode is a mini-masterclass with one of Hollywood's most esteemed contemporary production designers.
