How the History and Horror of Under the Banner of Heaven Was Brought to Life

An exhausting job well done.

The final episode partly takes place in Reno, Nev., where the costume department finally got to indulge in some splashier get-ups, for cocktail waitresses, clowns and other assorted Circus Circus casino-goers. But “by the time we got there,” he recalled, they were fried. “We’d been doing parades and wagon trains and massacre after massacre in the 1800s, and temple ceremonies and weddings. Everything was a movie, every episode was a whole movie. And that’s what they wanted and that’s what we delivered, but that pace and being in Calgary with no resources, was extremely challenging.”

It was all worth it, though, every time he saw the actors in wardrobe.

“We were so lucky with this cast,” he said. “All of them, even the day players, and Andrew was amazing, Wyatt was incredible—and so many times they put clothes on and were like, ‘Oh, yeah, this is it. I get it now.’ So that’s always a great moment to have.”
