Alpha Girls is the product of the combined talents of many of the coolest indie film folks in Philadelphia. I spent a couple days last summer helping ace production designer Maggie Ruder dress the Alpha house set and paint some custom props and I was so excited to see the film’s trailer when it was released a few weeks ago. It definitely did not disappoint! Killer job, everyone!

01.30.2012 11:40 pm “the people v. aissatou ba.”
I spent the first two weeks of the new year designing an NYU graduate student film titled “The People v. Aissatou Ba,” written and directed by Iquo B. Essien. The film was inspired by the 2011 New York v. Strauss-Kahn case and is presented from the perspective of the title character (played by Jennifer Tchiakpe), a hotel housekeeper and African immigrant who is attempting to move on with her life after she is sexually assaulted at work and the case against her attacker is dismissed.
Below are a few photos that I took of my sets during the shoot, screenshots coming soon!

This month I worked a few days in the art department for an independent feature film called The Red Robin shooting on the Philadelphia Main Line.
