Production Design and Art Direction

We are going to need lots of props to make this setting and story come alive, besides hair and costume.

To stay true to the era of burnt lungs, we bought fake cigarettes that are used in real Hollywood movies. These are the same cigarettes used by a young Natalie Portman in Leon: the professional.




















We also neeeded to get fake teeth because after he kills the guy, he rips up his body and stores the stuff he can keep. We got some weird resin teeth off Amazon that were absolutely great.



Last but not least, we needed boxes to pull of the very last shot of Trevor with his victims. This was going to be hard because boxes aren’t exactly cheap and we needed lots of them. Our solution came out of pure luck. We went to Office Depot to buy boxes, but we saw a ton of boxes just lying around that they were going to throw away. We asked if we could just take them and they said yes. That saved us like 15 dollars, so we were really happy about that.


We also got creative with the names and made the first letter of each name spell out a word, but it didn't actually matter because my body blocks most of them in the final cut.

For the bathroom, we designed it in a way that made it look very 70s. The walls are painted with very muted beige colors, and we picked out a shower curtain that has that same feel with the stripes and circles.


We also decided to use a hammer instead of using the axe like I had originally written in the script because we didn't know where to get one and we did not want to come across as weirdos trying to buy an axe. A hammer had the right balance between very painful, and kind of normal to carry around.
