The Production Design needed to go into some delightfully dark places, and Dust Bunny needed to have twists to spare. The design needed to make sense in a child's dreamlike way. It needed to explore some unexpectedly dark places, involving trauma, parenthood and loneliness. A lot of Dust Bunny is told in metaphor, which can make it a little elusive in its delivery. The premise of Dust Bunny is simple yet fantastical: Aurora has a monster living under her bed—a malevolent, gargantuan dust bunny lives beneath the floorboards, eats her parents and threatens to come for her next. Desperate, Aurora asks her intriguing neighbor, a hitman for hire, to kill it for her. To say more would be a disservice to a touching, mysterious and bonkers script. B A D C
