About the event
What makes a film space feel truly inhabited? Why does one room on screen feel alive with personality while another feels hollow, even when both are impeccably designed? The answer almost always lives in the set dressing.
In this workshop, filmmaker and professional set dresser Jen Nobles opens up the world of the art department and the decisions and instincts that transform a location into a character's world. Through discussion, close visual analysis, and a live creative exercise, participants will develop a new way of reading cinematic space, with insights they can take into every film they watch from here on out.
Led by Jen Nobles, Creative Director of the Porchlight Film Festival and a working set dresser whose large-scale installation work is also on display at this year's festival.
