Worked directly with the Art Director to build, paint, and decorate the sets used in the film. Once the production began, I remained on set with the art department; dressing sets, maintaining continuity, and prop master) and on location to assist the weapons expert with the weapons used in filming.

Working directly with the Production Designer and Director we designed and constructed three sets for this period piece including, an early 1900's train interior, an early 1900's style home entryway and bathroom, and a imaginative yet realistic two story pirate ship deck sailing in a starry night sky.

Designed and constructed props and old battered shack needed to be brought on location for use in this thriller short film. Worked directly with the director and production designer to give the characters the personality needed through the use of set dressing and wardrobe.

Worked with the art department on setting up and painting the set, post construction, to resemble a 'drafting war-room' aesthetic.

In this short film I took responsibility for multiple roles including that of scenic artist (where we constructed a cave interior along with a dilapidated old home), the casting director where I was responsible for hiring and locating the 6 main characters, and as the 2nd AD.

1st AD and Editor for this cinematography driven post-apocalyptic tale.
