The visual world of Cortelyou is richly textured and cinematic, drawing inspiration from the film Darkest Hour and the television series A Gentleman in Moscow. From the gas-light halls of the White House and the reflecting marble columns of the Supreme Court to the misty waterfalls of Yosemite National Park, each frame is precise, perfectly lit, and atmospheric. A dignified period drama with an American soul.

The gravitas and richness of Darkest Hour

Legends of the Fall captures the grandeur of the American West.

Cortelyou was reserved, formal, and cultivated - yet charming. Similar to Count Rostov perhaps?

As in Lincoln or The West Wing - powerful, dramatic insights into characters thoughts and motivations.
