Following the screening fellow Production Designers Collective peers Jamie Lapsley and Sarah Mursal chat with James about his work both on this film and across other industries in spatial design, and fashion, looking at the role of a production designer as a creative director. This is the opening event of the PD-REN inaugural conference Scene & Unseen: The Invisible Art of Production Design, as part of International Production Design Week 2025. Supported by the British Film Designers Guild, UoW School of Arts, Set & Scene and Totum Construction. Darren Aronofsky’s cult classic starring Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz blends elements of fantasy, history, spirituality, and science fiction. Three timelines follow Tom's quest for eternal life: a 16th-century conquistador, a modern scientist, and a future space traveller. Production Designer James Chinlund's unique visual world blends practical and digital techniques to create realistic, grounded, yet fantastical environments.PT1H37M152025-10-22
