December 15, 2021 by Gary Collinson

Martin Carr chats with production designer Grant Major about The Power of the Dog…

Grant Major is an Oscar winning set decorator and revered production designer who is most closely associated with writer-director Peter Jackson. Having worked on the original The Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong and Heavenly Creatures amongst others, Grant Major comes with credentials.

An unflinching look at fractured relationships on a working ranch amid family secrets in America circa 1925. Recently, Grant Major took time out to talk with Martin Carr about the project, and why Jane Campion remains such a creative force in cinema.
