In this episode of Behind the Seams, 2x Academy Award–winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter explains how alignment between costume and character is essential for actors to commit to their roles in Sinners fully. Ruth shares how costume design helps actors move beyond performance and into transformation — grounding them emotionally, physically, and psychologically in who the character needs to be. When alignment is right, the costume becomes part of the actor’s language on screen. This is a powerful look at how design supports performance from the inside out. 📸 Follow Ruth: https://www.instagram.com/therealruthecarter/?hl=en #RuthECarter #SinnersFilm #BehindTheSeams #CostumeDesign #ActorTransformation #FilmCostumeDesign #StorytellingThroughCostume #PerformanceAndDesign #BlackCinema #CinematicCraft #OscarWinner #Alignment
