Hannah did make up for our actors. … Continue reading Behind the Scenes of Harrison & Gregor
A few weekends ago, I had the pleasure of helping out with Peter Han’s Senior thesis film. I mostly helped out with the set and took stills. We were all out in the woods behind our college. It was crew, parents and like 20 little ones. During one of the breaks, the little girls got creative with the wildflowers around them. They put them in … Continue reading Flowers in Your Hair!
