I served as the entire art department for this production. My biggest task was designing and building a well on the top of a mountain. I designed and built a well that had the appearance of being in the same spot since the beginning of time.

Bruiser was an independent feature-length film that was filmed in Franklin, North Carolina. As the Production Designer for this film, I was in charge of bringing the world of the film to life. I worked alongside the director to create a vision that aligned with what he wanted as well as being able to incorporate my own artistic ideas. Bruiser was a very low budget film which meant that I was alos in charge of the majority of set decorating, along with two wonderful assistants. I was also in charge of costuming and SFX makeup. The SFX makeup included hand drawing tattoos on to the lead actor for the 6-week shoot. Bruiser was a great learning experience and made me eager to want to work on set again.
