Jack Fisk, an acclaimed film production designer and former Francis C. Hammond High School student, has been nominated for best production design at this year’s Oscars for his work on Killers of the Flower Moon.

Fisk was born in Illinois but the Washington Business Journal noted that Fisk graduated Francis C. Hammond High School in 1964, where he went to school with filmmaker David Lynch. Francis C. Hammond became a junior high school in 1979 and a middle school in 1993.

This is Fisk’s third nomination for the Academy Award for Best Production Design, having previously been nominated for There Will Be Blood and The Revenant. Fisk also designed all of Terrence Malick’s first eight films and worked on cult classic Phantom of the Paradise.

Killers of the Flower Moon racked up 10 nominations, including Best Picture, along with Fisk’s Best Production Design nomination.
