Seth's Big Break 2

Seth’s Big Break is a hyperbolic, absurd comedy where everything from the design, story, and tone is an exaggeration of something honest that lies root in each of the outrageous characters. As a result of this, there is humor in the way the film taps into the extremes of the human experience.

 

The production design for this 40- min short film project consisted of an interesting balance where it needed to match the outrageous characters and nature of the film but refrain from looking like a phony theater set-design. Most importantly, the directors specified they needed it to feel true to the characters and their quirky world as if it’s something they are truly living in. This balance can be found in the specificity and authenticity of the production design and how it creates an extension of the character through the world around them.
