    Description
    Episode 300 of the Revision Path podcast. It consists of an interview between Hannah Beachler and host Maurice Cherry. It opens with a brief discussion about the role and importance of production design in filmmaking, before segueing into a conversation on the difference between doing a production design for Black Panther and for Moonlight. At one point, Cherry asks if accessibility is considered in the design process, citing colorblind audiences as an example. Beachler admits that she has not thought deeply about accessibility in the past but will try to think more about it in the future. She describes the “Black Panther look-book,” noting that the team visited cities in Korea, South Africa and Oakland, California, while doing production research.
    At one point in the interview, Cherry notes that Beachler’s work is featured in the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, telling her “[N]ow Black Panther is part of the culture. I mean, of course, you won an Oscar for it. Congratulations. Your work is in the Museum of African American History and Culture. That surprised me when I first went. I did not expect to see as much Black Panther when I went there.” In response to his congratulatory remark, Beachler states that she is honored: “I did my best and my best was good enough.”
    Some of the other topics they discuss include, some of the past projects she has worked on, such as Creed, Fruitvale Station, Beyoncé’s Lemonade, Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s “On the Run II” tour; Afro-futurism in Beyoncé’s Lemonade; motherhood; Beachler’s history of substance abuse; as well as Beachler’s future goals, including producing a period piece and creating a production and development company. They also talk about Beachler’s relationships and interactions with, and/or admiration for, individuals such as Ava DuVernay, Ryan Coogler, Sylvester Stallone, Michael B. Jordan, Spike Lee and Ta-Nehesi Coates.
    At the end of the interview, Cherry asks to wrap up and Beachler interrupts to ask if he thinks she is “intense,” to which he responds that the interview has been great. They thank each other and the episode ends with Cherry recapping the sponsors.
