S3 | Ep. 30: The Guardians of the Galaxy 3 Episode w/Department Heads Cassie Russek and Alexei Dmitriew AND the High Evolutionary Himself, Chukwudi Iwuji!

Look Behind The Look

For the last episode of Season 3, I am thrilled to bring you the Guardians of the Galaxy 3. I had been looking forward to speaking with
the film's Hair Department Head, Cassie Russek, for a long time now and we were finally brought together here with Makeup Department Head of
Guardians 3, Alexei Dmitriew, AND for the cherry on top, my friend, Chukwudi Iwuji joined us as well! You are going to love this talk with the team behind Guardians of the Galaxy 3 as they tell me about their favorite days on set, their biggest challenges and how they worked together to break the record for the MOST prosthetics used in a feature film.
