The August Salon kicks off our NEBRASKA series, with the first of several months of collaborators from Alexander Payne’s new Paramount movie, opening in November. Â Mr. Payne himself will be our guest in September.
Wendy Chuck has costumed ELECTION, ABOUT SCHMIDT, SIDEWAYS, and DESCENDENTS, so she has a long history of being one of Alexander Payne’s “A” List. She’ll be at the Salon in August to tell us about their latest film project, NEBRASKA, starring Bruce Dern and Will Forte.
An Australian native, Wendy has amassed an impressive list of film, theatre and ballet credits around the world, among them the features TWILIGHT, THE RING TWO, BAD SANTA, and VARSITY BLUES. She has also worked with Jane Campion on her features PORTRAIT OF A LADY, THE PIANO and TWO FRIENDS, and won many awards in the US and Australia.We rarely have had the opportunity at a Salon to host a costume designer of her caliber, and learn about this important collaboration with Nebraska’s top director. Don’t miss the chance to hear her tales of costuming Jack Nicholson, Reese Witherspoon, Sam Neill, Billy Bob Thornton, Dermot Mulroney and so many more.
