Kathrin Eder on Building the Perfect Set for Walter Mosley’s Adaptation "A Man in My Basement"

Production Designer Kathrin Eder takes us inside the making of The Man in My Basement (Walter Mosley). We cover transforming Wales into 1994 Sag Harbor, building a house exterior in a swamp, staging interiors at Dragon Studios, and how a stained-glass front door became the set’s emotional center. Plus: a real-home-turned-quilt shop, Arts & Crafts details, UK prop-house treasure hunts, and subtle Moby-Dick/whaling references that root the story in place. Perfect for fans of production design, set decoration, and grounded period world-building.
