The Path

Positions Held: Production Designer, Props Director, Set Dresser & Extra - March 2023

This was a four day collaboration between graduate & undergraduate students. This was a different side of work for Gangwani. In terms of props and scenery for the witch and the monster hunt it gave some theatrical aspects. Gangwani got to do new things like carving into the bark of a tree for a sign, special effects for ruffling a prop books pages, crafting drinkable potions and even driving a four wheeler with a cameraman on the back for a chase scene. This was a cold action packed short that was a memorable few days.
