Arcane Ties

Director and Production Designer

About: Arcane Ties is a fantasy short film that explores the tension between the desire for power and the desire for family through the relationship of two wizard apprentice sisters, Adelaide and Thalia.

Type: 48 Hour Short

Status of the Project: Complete

This short was my directorial debut, but I couldn’t resist getting my hands on the props, dressing, and wardrobe. With the help of my team, I constructed the Arcane Ties storybook seen in the film’s introduction. I wrote the text, hand lettered the cover, and assisted with the lining and coloring of the illustrations. It was a labor of love, but it added a sense of nostalgia and magic that colors the entire film. We won several awards from the Houston Christian University Film Festival for this short, including one for production design and wardrobe.
