Lead Sculptor: Alexander Sherrod

In this episode, Christina sits down with lead sculptor Alexander Sherrod.

Alex grew up in New Orleans obsessed with Ghostbusters. As a kid, he'd stuff Play-Doh figures with fireworks and film them blowing up. After Hurricane Katrina, he moved home and got a job at Mardi Gras World, where he was sculpting floats within months. A decade later, a cold call landed him his first film gig — Barry Jenkins' The Underground Railroad.

Across the conversation, he shares his process, why the melted Hawkins Lab rooftop on Stranger Things was his personal favorite build, what it took to sculpt a full crashed Corsair fighter plane for Devotion, and the 75,000 pounds of styrofoam his team recycled on a single season of Stranger Things.
