Global Ignorance (2025)
As someone who wants a career in set and still being very new to the scene. I have found it very difficult and challenging to not only have a role in the industry within my department, but also to just find creatively challenging concepts on small productions, due to several limitations which is understandable. So I decided to create my own set that I thought would be a good challenge but also allow me to have creative liberty. I built the story, the script, everything, from the idea of my set design. I had the idea of this project since autumn 2024 and I feel that now more than ever the impact that technology has in separating humanity is detrimental. I hope this can serve as a reminder to check up on your loved ones. Remember that community is important to not only build yourself but to also build the people around you. Community is what makes us people.
A huge thank you to all that made this happen!!
