A film by Andrés Rios
Carlos, a troubled 9 year-old faces his biggest and his forced to escape through he's immersive imagination. A routine dentist appointment transforms him into a shrewd detective, compelled to unravel a mysterious enigma.
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.
