A WORK OF HEART

A short narrative film inspired from true events. It's about a gifted painter, in Renaissance Italy, who becomes entranced by a merchant's wife when commissioned to paint her necklace. Their forbidden connection fuels a creative fire, resulting in a masterpiece that transcended art as we know it. The short was made for Perry Lang's Narrative Film Practicum class.
Learning Outcomes:
I've filmed period pieces before, but working on this short taught me new techniques for creating a period film. I learned how to blend real events and historical aesthetics with fictional stylized elements to enhance the drama and elevate the visuals in the story.
