I ultimately want to work in set design in the film industry, and I had a chance to spread my designer wings, so to speak, when I art directed for a short film called "The Hero." The film, which was directed by my close friend  Adam Angeles,  screened as part of a series of shorts directed by University of California, Irvine film students this past weekend at the Newport Beach Film festival.  With my first real budget of any sorts , Adam trusted me to create a the overall look of the film, which we had decided was an updated twist on art deco (Sans the gaudy black laquer and mother-of-pearl).  My favorite look of the entire film was the little girls room, which happened to be the last shot.  Here are some stills from "Christine's Room".
