Moonshine

Wardrobe Assistant

I love working on period pieces, and this short film was no exception. It was lots of fun dressing the slick tabloid editor and washed up journalist with a troubled past. We created a contrast between the country and city by giving the urban characters a 1970s look and the rural characters more of a 50s vibe. The main challenge on this production was dressing a large number of background townspeople, without meeting them or knowing their sizes.

Set Dresser, Wardrobe Assistant, Props Master

One of my first experiences on a professional set, this production's small crew meant I was the sole art department rep for much of the shoot. Working on this web series was a great learning experience, as I was entirely responsible for styling the wardrobe of the lead actress, several recurring characters, and handful of guest stars. I also got to create large set pieces and props, and design the look and feel of the main office, bedroom/lounge, and darkroom spaces.
