How Does Your Garden Grow? - Production Design
Winter, 2008
5 minute Short Film
Produced by CFC
Directed by Ana Valine
The film has a 50's feel to it. I wanted to use bold prints and colours to give the film a theatrical charm. The leading women Rose wears red, burnt orange and yellow, the colours of her prized tomatoes, while her dull inept husband wears navy, teal and light blue. The quality of the film is dull and grainy at the beginning and progressively gets more Technicolor as the story dives into Rose's fantasy world.
Rose works in her garden. I constructed the skirt and apron to get exactly what I wanted, a bold floral print in fall colours, the colours of ripening tomatoes.
The sexy neighbour, Bruce, home from his travels abroad. I went with a James Dean feel for him.
Rose's husband, Geoff, a little drab and uninspiring looking.
Film turns to 50's Technicolour when we go into Rose's fantasy world. The reds and oranges come alive in the vibrant green garden!

Story Synopsis:
"A docile thirty-year-old daughter wants to leave her mother's oppressive womb. The mother and daughter share the desire of power in their twisted, sick relationship. As the mother finesses her wit to manipulate her daughter into staying, the daughter fights for her independence and freedom with a newfound courage, resulting in an unexpected twist.
In the heightened reality of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and the existential influence Waiting for Godot, "Love, Mom" is a psychological thriller, masquerading as a family drama."

Urban Legends II - Ass't Costume Design
Television Series
9 Episodes
Aired worldwide, History Channel in Canada, FX channel in the UK
Nextfilm Inc.
Spring-Winter 2008
Working on Urban Legends II was a great experience, with a lot of challenges. I was able to improve my designing-on-the-fly skills, and learned to design and coordinate costumes in a VERY tight time frame. Although I was only the Assistant Costume Designer, I was given the opportunity to put together some of the wardrobe for the lead characters in a number of episodes. I also often put together costumes for the secondary and background characters.
Here are some examples of my work:
Man who was running away from his bride-zilla wife. In the episode he pretended to go fishing, then faked his own death by making everyone think he had drowned.
University teenagers, hanging out in hotel while on spring break.
Prom, girl stole dress from dead girl who was going to her bar mitzvah.
