In a conversation with Digital Trends, Oscar-nominated costume designer Mark Bridges talks about working with StevenSpielberg and David Lynch on TheFabelmans.
How to re-create the look of your youth? That’s the dilemma that faced Steven Spielberg as he started to put together his autobiographical film, The Fabelmans. In telling a thinly veiled fictionalized account of his formative years in Arizona and, later, California, Spielberg relied on his usual collaborators — composer John Williams and cinematographer Janusz Kamiński — to help him out.
There were a lot of pictures of her on Google and we had access to Steven’s family, so I researched her the way that I would research Dwight D. Eisenhower or Jackie Kennedy. I found out her tastes over the years and the throughline of her style, the things that she preferred to wear, and how she represented herself from the late forties to the sixties and seventies. I did research outside of the timeline of the film as well to complete the overall picture.
And, you know, no words were exchanged between us, but I knew that I had evoked a lovely memory for him in that scene. I enjoyed working with Steven in that way. Several times there was something that I just wanted to present to him that would conjure a memory of his, and it was quite satisfying when it did.
You’ve worked with a lot of directors over the years, in particular, with Paul Thomas Anderson. What’s the difference between working with a director like him versus Spielberg with The Fabelmans? David Lynch stars as John Ford in a short cameo at the end of The Fabelmans. How much of Ford did you capture with his look and did Lynch or Spielberg have any input in the finished product?
