Though roped in a bit suddenly, I still had the chance to fully work with the crew for this film and joined all the preparations and shoot days as the 1st Assistant Art Director.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time working on set, and my favourite piece from the film are the paper cranes (which I made!) used in the classroom set. I was even gifted the only red one as a memento and it now hangs in my room.
Curious about the movie? Here are some stills from it!
