For those hoping to become costume designers, some of the industry’s top craftspeople have some advice to pass along.
“There isn’t one singular path to finding your way through this industry, I think if you probably asked every one of us we would come to it from a different background – my degree is in architecture,” costume designer Leah Katznelson, an Emmy nominee this year for “Fleishman Is in Trouble,” tells Gold Derby during an exclusive video interview for our Meet the Experts: Costume Designers panel. “I would probably say bring what your interests are, don’t shy away from it, because it might not be what you studied. If you have an interest in art, literature, history, language, anthropology, sociology, or any of those fields, you can draw on those resources all the time when developing character, so bring everything in and jump in, and it’s not too late to start.

Costume designer Leah Katznelson has worked on a number of contemporary projects in her acclaimed career, including feature films like “21 Jump Street” and “Sleeping With Other People” and television series such as “Mrs. Fletcher” and last year’s “Fleishman Is in Trouble.” For the FX limited series, an Emmy nominee for Best Limited Series and Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actress for Claire Danes, Katznelson was required to recreate the very recent past, as much of the show’s narrative takes place in the summer of 2016.
“It’s contemporary, but it is a period in and of itself,” Katznelson, an Emmy nominee for “Fleishman,” tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview as part of our Meet the Experts: Costume Designers panel. “We really did spend a lot of energy and time to carefully extract the fashion trends and key clothing shapes and silhouettes that would be particular and specific...

“I didn’t think anyone would ever do a Watergate series, so I never thought to ask,” reflects David Mandel about one of the defining moments in American political history. But as it turns out, he recalls, “One day, I found out there was a Watergate series and the next thing I knew I was the director of it.” The Emmy Award-winning executive producer credits his longtime home HBO for backing the series “White House Plumbers” because “only they would make this show about two very dangerous guys in the 1970s who went to work for the President to basically break the law in the name of the law.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
While Mandel says he doesn’t “want anybody sympathizing” with the two criminals who masterminded the infamous Watergate break-ins — E. Howard Hunt (Woody Harrelson) and G. Gordon Liddy (Justin Theroux) — he does hope the series helps viewers understand them.

Justin Theroux, Judy Greer, Lena Headey, and Woody Harrelson. Those are the fine folks pictured above, and in case this sharp and sharply dressed quartet isn’t all you need to see before signing on for HBO’s upcoming original series — and frankly, it should be — IndieWire is here to shed a bit more light on “The White House Plumbers,” a new project from creators Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck as well as director David Mandel.
“I think you can’t look at this shot, in particular, without [mentioning] Leah Katznelson and Anastasia White,” Mandel said, referencing his costume and production designer, respectively. “That is the Liddy living room you’re looking at — a monument to [White’s work] — and like the man himself, the Liddy house is a little off. That’s all I can say about that.”
Luckily, Mandel was able to share much more about what’s in store during an exclusive interview with IndieWire.

Satirizing a genre as you’re fully embracing it isn’t the easiest feat and is perhaps impossible. It’s true that every good satire is also in some way a love letter to its source material, but love it a little too much, and the Valentine’s card becomes onion-thin with the prim bite of a paper cut. Todd Strauss-Schulson’s rom-com sendup “Isn’t It Romantic” is one of those satires that wants to have its Valentine’s chocolates and eat them too.
This story, about a woman who hits her head and is thrown into a rom-com world of cliché and improbability, may abide by the rules of the genre too closely to function as a critique, and it’s a shame, because it’s almost there. Writers Erin Cardillo, Dana Fox (“How to Be Single”) and Katie Silberman (“Set It Up”) hold back from really making a statement,...

From New Line Cinema comes the romantic comedy Isn’T It Romantic, starring Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth (the “Hunger Games” films), Adam Devine and Priyanka Chopra, under the direction of Todd Strauss-Schulson.
New York City architect Natalie works hard to get noticed at her job but is more likely to be asked to deliver coffee and bagels than to design the city’s next skyscraper. And if things weren’t bad enough, Natalie, a lifelong cynic when it comes to love, has an encounter with a mugger that renders her unconscious, waking to discover that her life has suddenly become her worst nightmare—a romantic comedy—and she is the leading lady.
Wilson stars as Natalie, alongside Hemsworth as Blake, a handsome client; Devine as her co-worker and earnest best friend, Josh; and Chopra as Isabella, a model and self-proclaimed yoga ambassador.
