Guarded

Positions Held: Production Designer, Props Director, Set Dresser & Extra - December 2022

This was a five day collaboration between graduate & undergraduate students. This film allowed Gangwani to dive deeper within the characters background and likings. Everything just it hit closer to home. With Gangwani’s infatuation with streetwear & rap culture, much of his taste was extended thoroughly through out the scenery. Huberts Dorm room was a blank canvas to begin with, turning it into a high school studio/trap house. The room features the upbringing of how Hubert finds his tag “HumOngOu$$$”, new mixtapes, fresh dj equipment, original clothes by Gangwani Collection and covers of influential artists grouped very meticulously. There were many scenes that required much detail and this was Gangwani’s favorite film thus far; truly because he was allowed to give more story through his additions to the characters scenery.
