Finished “Machine for Life” and a Ride5 collaboration.

The fabulous world of Suchi Reddy’s design gets a Sci-Fi treatment on Machine for Life.  With a lot of previous work designing the film, this was an outstanding 1 day shoot with minimal crew. We were so privileged to have the help of filmmaker Cathryne Czubek, the amazing Chloe Breitman Mendel as our space traveller, the invaluable help of Jameela Derrick and the styling and accessories of Elyse Allen.   With the help of the Joker light fixture, the 1x1 lite panels and a couple of Lowels we transformed the designer’s apartment into a futuristic space. A place where past, present and future collide into a poetic representation of memory and the spaces of intimacy; going beyond our experience in time to attain the level of daydream. 
We also embarked on a collaboration with Ride5 Films in a new documentary about the state of Virginia’s recent legislation regarding women’s legal right to terminate their pregnancies and decide over their future. We are helping out DP Ryan Kerrison with photography and director Christopher Englese with story development.  Director Christopher and producer Liz Oates, lined up a sensational group of people to film that ranges from legislators, educators, lobbyists, senators to activists and abortion providers. We are hoping this will be the first of many films to make with the fantastic team at Ride5 Films.
