A coolly visual movie shooting in LA, for LA? With
a great cast and a fascinating up-and-coming
writer/director? It's a unicorn—count me in!
There were the standard catches—small budget,
tight schedule, and they wanted me to meet the
director in just a few days. No time to do my
normal deep-dive prep, and I was in the middle
of designing intense superhero movie reshoots,
but taking a deep breath I pulled together a quick
reference deck, with the afterhours help of a great
production assistant.
The meeting was in a super-noisy café, and I
could only make out two of every three words the
director, Drew Pearce, was saying, but it was clear
my reference wasn't actually describing the world
