poster for the short film, rentboy.
_how
hannah swayze and daniel contaldo of ataria pictures reached out and introduced us to writer / director trey chapman. trey had just finished work on a short film called rentboy, which daniel had also been the cinematographer on.

we dug the movie and talked to trey about his intentions with the work and how he'd like to talk about it in poster form. caspar then sent trey a series of ideas, and trey chose the one you see here.

the film is about a young sex worker who—anxious about not having enough money to persue his career as a concert pianist—violates a client’s privacy, triggering unexpected consequences. 

the poster tries to capture the sexualized surveillance aspect of the film. it's also a nod to certain key lines of dialogue in the film's denouement. caspar made it in berlin using a printer, a sheet of white metal, some water, a sponge, plenty of sunlight and a camera.
