‘The Green Knight’ Production Designer Jade Healy on creating the look, feel, and shape of a fantasy realm

Jade Healy Season 3 Episode 6

In this episode, we revisit a conversation from the 2021 Festival with award-winning Canadian production designer Jade Healy.

Jade Healy has created the look of some of our favourite films, including A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Marriage Story, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, A Ghost Story, Pete’s Dragon, Mississippi Grind, and Ain’t Them Bodies Saints.

2021 saw Healy reunite with her frequent collaborator David Lowery on the visual masterpiece and epic fantasy adventure, The Green Knight

Speaking to Canadian Director and Production Designer, Sophie Jarvis, Healy delves into how she approached the monumental task of creating an Arthurian world, bringing to life the fabled sets of the famed Camelot, the otherworldly Lady and Lord’s castle and the verdant Green Chapel.

This conversation was recorded on October 4, 2021.
