Costume designer Mary Zophres has received two Oscar nominations for her work on Joel and Ethan Coen‘s “True Grit” (2010) and Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land” (2016), and she’s back in contention this year for two distinct projects from the filmmakers.
Shortly after “La La Land”’s awards run, Chazelle recruited Zophres for his next project, his Neil Armstrong biopic “First Man.” “It was very much like ‘La La Land.’ It was just a different subject matter, but his approach is very much the same. He knows exactly what the film is going to look like,” Zophres said at Gold Derby’s Meet the Experts: Costume Designers panel, moderated by this author (watch the exclusive video above). “He’s very much a collaborator and is very open to ideas and to meetings and discussions and meetings and show and tells. He’ll be there whenever you need him to be there.
