      In Post-Production
Five years after their high school breakup, Alex and Kaia decide to meet up. Having made a film about their relationship, Alex fantasizes that Kaia adores the film. But the film is a rip-off of classic romance films and is a flop and an embarrassment to Kaia.
SET DRESSING - Classroom to Bar

       LocationDue to COVID-19 restrictions as well as a limited budget, an actual bar was quite impossible to permit for this production. Thus, we chose to use a classroom on the main campus of Chapman University (Smith Hall) to dress as a bar.

      ProcessTo transform the space into a bar, I used black curtains to cover the windows and utilized big prop pieces such as bars, stools, and cabinets.
