Choosing Reality

Film Production Design

For Cameron Boone’s short film Choosing Reality, I was invited to assist him in set decoration for the main character’s bedroom. In addition to set decoration, I also had the opportunity to design the opening titles and credits for the film, as well as the poster for the film. 

For the poster, I worked closely with Cameron early on in the script’s development to better understand the theme and tone of the film. The film deals with a young man going through various psychological and emotional trauma brought about through substance abuse and through the death of his mother. Hallucinations play a large part in the film, so for the poster I chose to feature an image of the main character shrouded in darkness. Shadows carry a lot of symbolism of the dark side of our personalities or a side of us that we don’t want others to see.
