SURE-FIRE is a fast-paced crime comedy about Benny Boon, a New York City con man, who becomes a movie producer in order to pay off gangsters threatening to kill him. His screenwriter is clueless, his star has taken several too many klonopins. Still… fake it til you make it! This project presented an interesting design challenge encompassing from-scratch dresses for the 2 main locations, a large number of custom art pieces, several fake websites and a great deal of graphic design elements throughout, all on an ultra low budget.
