HOUSE OF THE WITCH - Production Designer
A group of teens break into an abandoned estate and run into a real life witch. Our work included period decor, construction of crawl spaces, a VFX friendly pond plus our fair share of camera ready gags as well. We had a wonderful crew in Lexington, Kentucky!

RED SANDS - Production Designer
This war torn tale was set in the arid desert of Afghanistan, yet it was actually shot in ultra-pleasant Santa Clarita, California. We fabricated a full scale Stone House to blend with our interior sets plus a breakaway VFX sculpture that initiates all the mayhem in our story.
Cast: Shane West, J.K. Simmons
Director: Alex Turner Producer: David Hillary

DIRTY - Production Designer
Based loosely on the LAPD Rampart Scandal, this crime thriller took us across all parts of Los Angeles. We approached the film with a strong color palette and a push toward gritty realism that turned out to be quite beautiful in many ways.
