For our short horror/fantasy film Friends (approx. 7 minutes) we are looking for an experienced and creative art director. This will be a stylized, visually powerful film with a unique atmosphere: a bitter Russian fairy tale, shot in 4:3 Technicolor style, with a lot of attention to sets, costumes and props.

About the film & production
An original horror/sci-fi film, with a strong emphasis on visual storytelling.
The film is set in one location with specially built (minimalist) sets, which makes the art direction crucial.
We work with a motivated and experienced team, including a good prop maker and a costume designer, with whom the art director will work closely.

Our previous short film Una Volta (www.unavoltafilm.com) was selected for Imagine, FilmQuest, Fantasporto, Panic Fest and more, and we hope to have a strong festival run with Friends as well.

It is a passion project, but with the support of our cultural foundation we want to raise funds and subsidies to set up the production as professionally as possible.

We're looking for more than just a stylist—ideally someone who can also visualize, sketch, or work with color and backgrounds, and who has a strong vision for production design and enjoys working with our experienced prop maker and costumers.

What do we offer?
- A unique, visually challenging project with plenty of room for creative input.
- A great team of experienced professionals in a good, collaborative atmosphere (crew and cast like to return to our productions)
- A production where good catering and respect for working hours - and each other - are important. So unfortunately it is a passion project, besides expenses and catering we unfortunately can't pay anyone...
- Opportunity to make a film with a strong festival strategy and international exposure.
- A beautiful, original and visual piece for your portfolio!
