JIM BISSELL (Production Designer) began his motion picture career as production designer on Steven Spielberg's enduring classic “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.” Bissell was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Production Design for his work on that film. He later reunited with Spielberg on the film “Always.” His subsequent credits have included “Twilight Zone: The Movie,“ “The Falcon and the Snowman,” “The Boy Who Could Fly,” “Harry and the Hendersons,” “Someone to Watch Over Me,” “Twins,” “Arachnophobia,” “The Rocketeer,” “Jumanji,” “Tin Cup,” “My Fellow Americans,” “Hollywood Homicide” and “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.” Early in his career, Bissell won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Art Director for a Series for his work on “Palmerstown, U.S.A.” Bissell graduated from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, with a BFA in Theatrical Design.  He continues to teach seminars at the American Film Institute and UCLA on the art of production design.
