Shot on Arri Alexa Mini LF
I had the honor of working alongside some of Northeast Ohio's most adept camera, grip, and lighting crews, as well as industry professionals Robert Kurtzman and Marcia Kurtzman-King.
I served the role of production designer, creating props, set pieces, and several props whilst on set. I worked with several PAs to delegate tasks at the start of each day to dress each set to make it look as authentic as possible to the time period.

The prison cell set, modelled after the Mansfield Reformatory built by David Kirst, dressed with furniture, bedding, chains, etc. by me.
