This is The Art Dept, a podcast dedicated to the art behind movie and TV magic. This is an exploration and a showcase of the creatives that never write a line, say a a single word nor appear on screen yet their work creates the scene, the feel and the backstory for the characters you love and love to hate. I’m Josh Cooperman and this episode features a conversation with Oscar and BAFTA Award winner Victor Zolfo. Zolfo has works on some truly memorable projects including The Avengers, The Social Network, Deepwater Horizon, Real Steel, Daredevil, Godzilla, and many others but what is really interesting about this list is the diversity in his work. You have a range in genres, but look at the diversity in time and feel. Victor’s job, his art is taking words from a page and crafting an environment so when you and I go see this movie, we believe that character but also that the character belongs in that space. You are also going to hear from set decorator, Michelle Poulik. Every creative has a different path to passion. This is hers, from working with Ford to starting her own “all girl” production company in a time when it was highly uncommon. Every episode will feature members of Hollywood elite, the A-Listers who make TV and movie magic every day.
