A sacred fable disguised as a Philly street film. Role Overview We are seeking a Costume Designer to collaborate closely with the director and cinematographer to develop the visual language of each character through clothing. Because the film shoots in black and white on 16mm, the designer must think in terms of texture, tone, and silhouette rather than color. Character-driven, grounded, and specific to place. Responsibilities Develop costume concept for two principal characters reflecting their class, background, and arc Source, pull, and prep all wardrobe within a limited budget Collaborate with the Director and Cinematographer on how costumes read in black and white on film
