Practical effects and environmental anomalies designed to reflect a fracturing psychological state.
In Alexis Scheer’s drama following a traumatized war correspondent, I was tasked with integrating subtle, practical illusions that blur the line between reality and memory. The effects serve the narrative tension, operating entirely within the grounded, domestic environment of the play to externalize the psychological cost of war.
