DIRECTORS: MATT BETTINELLI-OLPIN & TYLER GILLETT, PRODUCER: RON LYNCH, PRODUCTION MANAGER: NIAMH GALE

PRODUCTION DESIGNER: SUSIE CULLEN, SET DECORATOR: KEVIN DOWNEY

MY ROLE: ASSISTANT SET DECORATOR

A group of would-be criminals kidnaps the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure. Holding her for ransom in an isolated mansion, their plan starts to unravel when they discover their young captive is actually a bloodthirsty vampire.

Based in Wicklow, working in Ardmore Studios and Historic Period House locations, I worked closely with the Set Decorator, Props Master, Dressing Props and Props Buyers to assist with the research, sourcing and co-ordination of dressing and action props, drapes, greens and model-making prop elements. I worked along side the Supervising Art Director to deliver the Production Designer’s visual concepts and the Set Decorator’s dressing plans.
