‘Thirteen Lives’ Production Designer Molly Hughes On Recreating A Treacherous Flooded Cave System
07.01.2023 - 23:17 / deadline.com
For Thirteen Lives, production designer Molly Hughes was tasked with building a set based on the Tham Luang cave system in Thailand. The challenge was creating a flooded cave system tight enough to be realistic, but large enough to fit the actors and cameras.

A lot of people didn’t realize this, but we built the entrance and the stairs as well and the base camp was built. We had so much freedom because we were starting from scratch, so I was able to orient the cave entrance so that it worked for our script and for the way scenes transpired. In a way, there was a lot of freedom in that design, which was actually pretty great.
DEADLINE: How do you create the chambers in a way that allows the cameras to film?
HUGHES: That was probably
