In this episode Gino continues with our link to Showmax's Catch Me A Killer, as he chats to the hit show's Production Designer, Warren Gray.

Born in Cape Town, Warren earned a bursary while studying industrial design and qualified in 2000 at Cape Peninsula University of Technology. He has since won multiple awards and was accepted into the British Film Designers Guild in 2023.

He has achieved international recognition through his work on Diamond Status (2023), Catch Me a Killer (2023), Pirates of Somalia (2017), The Forgiven (2017) and Noem my Skollie (2016), amongst others. Warren has recently returned from LA, where he accepted the award for Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design for the Jada Pinkett Smith's Netflix docuseries African Queens: Njinga.

Warren talks about the challenges he faces with each job, like having to build three blocks of houses for Long Walk to Freedom, half a yacht from stem to stern for the SoCal rescue series Saf3, and tells Gino all about filming inside South Africa's infamous Pollsmoor Maximum Security Prison.
