Costume design & Makeup
I had the privilege of handling hair, makeup, and costume design for the film that won "Best Film" and "Best Hair and Makeup" at the 2024 54 Hour Film Fest. The experience was both challenging and rewarding, requiring a blend of creativity and efficiency to meet the unique demands of the short production timeline.
Collaboration with the director and the rest of the creative team was crucial. We held numerous discussions to ensure our vision aligned with the film's narrative. I designed costumes that reflected the characters' personalities while also considering the film's overall aesthetic. Each piece was carefully selected and tailored to not only fit the actors but also to enhance the storytelling.
The hair and makeup design were equally pivotal. I focused on creating looks that would resonate with the audience and elevate the characters' development. This involved utilizing both classic techniques and innovative approaches to achieve the desired effects within a condensed time frame.
The recognition at the festival was a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire team. It underscored the importance of hair, makeup, and costume design as integral elements in filmmaking, capable of transforming narratives and bringing characters to life. This achievement has inspired me to continue pushing the boundaries of my craft in future projects.
