This is a short film that I worked on. The film is about a single mother fighting against the pressures of political climate and finds it in herself to accept that it's possible to reach "across the aisle" finding  friendship in an old widow. The two characters bond over gardening. The production design for this short film was mostly exterior. This included dressing and redoing landscaping at a house in the Arkansas summer heat. The art team was comprised of myself and three other individuals one being dedicated solely to costumes. The shooting schedule was completed over two weeks with one of preproduction.
