"I believe production design, set design and art direction have the ability to take us to places that we likely would not go as tourists. This is what makes me fascinated by the ability that art gives us to create new worlds, to communicate, to bind the senses. It is this challenge of re-creating a world that allows a particular story to be told that excites me most." Helcio Pugliese
