I love working on period pieces, and this short film was no exception. It was lots of fun dressing the slick tabloid editor and washed up journalist with a troubled past. We created a contrast between the country and city by giving the urban characters a 1970s look and the rural characters more of a 50s vibe. The main challenge on this production was dressing a large number of background townspeople, without meeting them or knowing their sizes.
