tragedy babes
poster
_what
poster for the short film, tragedy babes.
_how
producer jessica li and writer / director christa haley reached out having seen our poster work on laura moss's film fry day. christa and jessica's great new short film, tragedy babes, was tearing up the festival circuit and they were keen to have a poster made for it as soon as possible.

we watched the film and immediately dug it. it's a well composed and cathartic piece of work about the perils of social media. furthermore it was immediately clear it could herald an excellent poster. we presented christa with a range of ideas and she chose the one you see here.

the photographic trompe-l'œil that makes for the center piece of the poster was created using a photograph one of the actresses took of herself on her own phone. we then uploaded that photo to a cracked phone in our studio, positioned the image on the screen and manually dropped "tears" onto the screen glass. the whole arrangement was then lit, photographed, cut out and laid out as a poster.

you can watch the entire film right now using the link below.  do please take 11 minutes out of your day to check it out. it's a lovely piece of work.
