Concept Art & References

As a production designer for this short film, I set the stage for three scenes. The first depicted a 90s middle-class single mom's living room with a warm, brownish palette inspired by a wine color scheme. Explore how I brought this vision to life, adding depth and cinematic allure.

The second room is that of the main character. This 9-year-old child is very creative and imaginative. The goal was to create a fantasy refuge, a place that protects him from the threatening outside world.
