ShoesOnSet #zNation Style

I can't help be excited for the premier of Z Nation tomorrow!
I spent late spring and into summer alongside some of Washington's finest talent and film crews who all have worked long and hard to get here.

Watch us shine and kick some zombie a%%!
oh, and check out my Set Decoration skills too.

Hola! Everyone! Its been WAY too long but I have spent the good part of this year on set.

And, to show for it, will once again be visiting Park City tagging along with a good parcel of the Seattle Filmmaking Community to represent Seattle Independent Filmmakers with at least(?) films.

And counting. (I'll be there with the amazing cast and crew of Safety Not Guaranteed (check out the US Dramatic Competition line up here!)

Our first screening after landing will be Lynn Shelton's Your Sister's Sister.

But meanwhile, a long overdue installation of Shoes On Set.
This is a rare down moment for The Art Department behind the scenes for the soon to be released Nothing Against Life :

This isn't a Fashion Shoot.
This is a Film Production.
Form will always follow function.
There is a story or script behind each foot.



"no one takes pictures of me on set"

Erik Simkins- I love this guy.
blog.simkinsphotography.com 
I met him on Grassroots- he hides under tables, in fireplaces and in bushes to get shots on set.
He's one of my 2 'Go-To' set photographers.

Regan MacStravic is my other #1fav.
The combination of these 2 amazing visions is perfect to capture all the set style essence, story line, making of,  emotion, challenges, dynamics, cast head-shots and promo spots that a producer could ever want!  They are Amazing!
Of course I'd love to do my own more often, but there never seems to be a moment to get to wardrobe and hair&makeup.
~I apologize for mixing up the images without credits-its oh so unprofessional, but I'm fairly sure this is an even mix of my 2 friends talent right here and I'll get it sorted out if you just ask~
