Production design is always important to film and TV. Environments, props, set decoration—it all provides a fuller picture of the story and the characters within it. But if you have a film with a very limited cast—an isolated protagonist—and essentially no dialogue, production design comes even more to the foreground.If a character can't tell you who they are, what they like, or where they're from, audiences are going to start searching for clues around them. In the case of the Hulu sci-fi film No One Will Save You, viewers might spot trails of ribbons, hanging stars, crafting supplies, and family photos—all signs of a happy homeowner named Brynn, which makes the secrets revealed during this alien invasion tale all the more surprising. Ramsey Avery was the production designer tasked with filling in the blanks of this world in collaboration with writer/director Brian Duffield. This wasn't Avery's first foray into sci-fi, with previous credits including 10 Cloverfield Lane, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He also designed The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.So it was an honor to hop on Zoom with Avery to discuss No One Will Save You and all the details he used to bolster the story.
