This week on The Reel Debaters, we’re heading behind the blood, sweat, and prosthetics with Doug Morrow and Ashley Hyra, the makeup artists behind The Long Walk.

Doug and Ashley take us deep into the creative trenches of modern film makeup, breaking down their methods, the realities of working on set, and the problem-solving wizardry required when things do not go according to plan. From long days in the chair to last-minute fixes under pressure, they share candid behind-the-scenes stories straight from production.

We also talk about what it’s like working in today’s film industry, how the craft has evolved, and what still keeps them inspired. To round things out, we get personal with what they like to watch when they’re not creating movie magic themselves.

Press play and walk with us.
