Assisted the director with anything he needed, coordinated with other department heads to assure everything ran according to schedule and performed other duties as needed.

Led a crew of 4 people in the Art Department. Designed a 1950's noir look with very limited resources and locations. Selected wardrobe, designed the set, and did basic make-up. I was able to secure everything needed in the Art Department for about $300. The biggest challenge I face in that production was that the bar location we had backed out and I had to design the look of a bar in a one bedroom apartment. My solution was to work with the director of photography to figure out shots that would work around our limitations. I put black cloth on the walls, had extras stand in to make it seem like they were bar patrons, made a bar counter out of a table and dressed it with drinks, glasses and ashtrays. The result worked and actually saved us the money we would have spent on the location.

Worked as the Production Designer, leading a group of 8 people in the Art Department. I worked closely with the director to create a look for our film and figure out what we needed. Besides that, the producer and I scouted locations to match the look we had in mind. I had a limited budget and managed to get everything needed in the Art Department for less than $200. The most ingenious way to save money I came up with was the main prop, an axe. I had found the perfect foam axe online for $50, but the fundraising money hadn't come yet so I couldn't purchase. A week later when I went to buy it, the model was out of stock. My solution was to find a craftsman that could build a wooden axe from scratch. The producer didn't want to involve real axes because that would mean getting a weapons permit and a cop on set, which would drive up the production cost every day the axe is on set. The craftsman did a terrific job, using repurposed wood and material bought for under $20. It ended up being better looking option than the foam axe and it had a lot more character - besides saving money.
