Wishbone (2023)

Client: Historic England + Barrow Borough Council

Production Co: Signal Film and Media (Dir.  Karen Bird + Kerry Kolbe)

​​

This period drama was produced in support of & with funding from the High Streets Heritage Action Zone programme from Historic England and in support of Barrow Borough Council's Heritage Action Zone. Made from a variety of gathered local stories, the film tells the story of Chrissie, a working-class teen who refuses to relinquish her dream of being a photographer. Charting her life in small town Barrow-in-Furness (northern England) through a 60-year odyssey, Chrissie becomes the proverbial 'everywoman'.

My role as Production Designer was to design & create a cohesive & relatable visual identity for each key person (wardrobe, hair & makeup) & to set dress each of the 4 key locations, specifically focussing updating some from the 1960's to the 1980's & into modern day.​ I worked closely within a small crew, the actors & production company to create a compelling and striking result .
