Karin Fong is an Emmy award-winning director and designer. She’s a founding member of Imaginary Forces, where she works at the intersection of live-action, design, and animation. If you’ve watched shows like Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Little Fires Everywhere, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, or feature films like Spider-Man: No Way Home or Slumberland—you’ve encountered Fong’s work. She’s also helmed spots for major brands, including LEGO, Lexus, Target, Google, PlayStation, and Herman Miller. At the root of it all, she is a visual storyteller and in this episode, host Nicola Hamilton and Fong talk about all the ways the film industry has changed and all the ways it’s stayed the same. Plus, Fong takes us behind the scenes and really breaks down the process of designing film titles.
