This is a gallery of my work in film. To date, I've worked on two films, the first entitled "Headline News", produced by Spook Show Entertainment and Fathead Films, as prop and set designer, production still photographer, and extra. The second entitled "House of the Degenerate Brain-eating Mutant Fog Insects", produced by 4Lizard Productions, as a prop and set designer.
"Headline News" is a 20-minute short film produced by Spook Show Entertainment and Fathead Films which premiered at the 2011 Chicago Horror Film Festival.
For the set and props design, I turned an empty office room into a college science lab (2 actually) using some props that were provided to me, and some of my own. I decorated the lab with posters I drew by hand, and fake certificates, and created a mummy out of pillows, styrofoam, gauze, and paint. I also did some writing / calligraphy that appears in the film (and trailer).
Description: Gerald Brown, a news reporter from the east coast finds himself stuck in a small town community starving for big city news, but finds himself continuously disappointed and annoyed. Then one day Gerald and Karen Jacobs, a journalist in training are sent to Woodbridge Community College to do a story about a cave fungus discovered by the knowledgeable Professor Alfred Zimmerman. What they find is much more then they expect! Find out what the days Headline News in this suspense thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
"House of the Degenerate Brain-eating Mutant Fog Insects" is a short film produced by 4Lizard Productions which premiered at the House Cafe in February of 2012.
For the set and props design, I created evil science lab machines out of painted cardboard boxes (for the intentional B-movie look), a computer monitor, and lights.
Description: In small town Illinois, fifteen people have gone missing in the last month. When a reclusive mad scientist is discovered to be plotting world domination, he becomes the number one suspect in the disappearances and becomes sought out by local law enforcement. Little do they know, the power of Dr. Kronar's Mutant Fog Insects could change humanity forever. A B-Movie tribute to the films of Ed Wood, House of the Degenerate Brain-Eating Mutant Fog Insects is sure to be a cult classic you'll want to add to your collection!
