For this episode, we are thrilled to have Stefan Dechant, the Oscar-nominated production designer whose imagination and desire to tell stories has stretched from the Spielberg-tinged streets of his Ohio childhood to working with legends like Saul Bass, to Industrial Light & Magic, to design opportunities on a myriad of Robert Zemeckis films, and more! As we peel back the layers of Stefan's illustrious (see what we did there) career, we uncover the influences of his youth and how a simple love for drawing evolved into designing some of cinema's most unforgettable worlds.
Stefan's story is a tale of taking chances and moving into uncomfortable spaces and roles to achieve your goals. Stefan also has no qualms about letting you know that imposter syndrome is real, and what you need to do to overcome it is jump into the creative and hope that it lifts you up and you surf on its waves!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
