The hero soon finds out that he has stumbled into a nest of angry alien drones. When disturbed, like bats in a cave, the drones menacingly swarm. This untapped gem of a location was found in a state of distress that was perfect for the scene. Alas, in order to make the set hospitable for the film crew, it was necessary to remove years of dust, trash and other "questionable" detritus, only to replace it with "clean" layers of dust, trash and detritus. Now that's what I call Art Direction! When Stars Are Bright I was so fortunate to have two artistic all-stars join me on this thrill ride of a show. Supervising Art Director Dawn Swiderski and set decorator Douglas Mowat each assembled and managed a tireless and talented art, construction and set decoration team. While weathering the bitter cold and often dingy locations, their enthusiastic efforts helped create a "fresh" vision of a familiar genre. ADG G
