Portrait of a Knight

Production designer Portrait of a Knight is a feature-length musical romance about the way in which historic ideals inform contemporary urban life. Rachel is a young archivist living and working in Wellington, New Zealand. Feeling alone and disconnected from life, she projects her romantic fantasies onto the paintings she loves, until one day her song brings Reginald – a Knight of the Realm – to life. As a Production Designer I worked closely with the other heads of departments and the Director to realise this film’s full potential. I was responsible for identifying and designing the mise en scene and then leading the small production team in the realisation and production of these ideas.
