In this masterclass, veteran Alberta set decorator Chris Smith takes audiences behind the scenes to explore the creative and practical art of dressing a set for film and television. Smith built his career working on some of Alberta’s most celebrated productions, including BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN and THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD, before bringing his expertise to the long-running HEARTLAND. 

He’ll explore everything from researching and sourcing the perfect pieces to collaborating with production designers, directors and other departments, while balancing story, budget, schedule and the realities of production. Discover how the smallest details can make a world feel authentic—and how great set decoration can give characters a voice before they ever say a word.
