For this heartfelt short film about a lonely cremator who lives in a cemetery and says goodbye to the unclaimed bodies, I was tasked with turning an abandoned cremation building into an apartment, an office, and an active cremation site. Before & after:
Exterior / RV

Written & directed by: TW Miller / Produced by: Danielle Dunlap & Joshua Schilling / DP: Chris Murphy / Starring: Antoine McKay, Cole Kerizakos, Heather Chrisler, Kate Buddeke, & Jennifer Jelsma
Limited to not moving any of the furniture, I transformed this crowded living room into a trendy loft owned by two young women by building a fake wall. Using sheets of styrofoam, a soldering iron, and the creative usage of paint, fabric & handmade artwork, I was able to give the illusion of cozier (and cuter!) living space.
