Positions held: Props Director & Set Dresser - February 2021 & June 2021
This was Gangwani’s first true experience of being behind the scenes for a film set. Working on niche props, having a fast pace, and working closely with a team was the moment he realized the film would be the direction he would go in. This film was drug heavy, requiring a lot of mimicking. From brûléeing sugar with a torch on a hand bet spoon to represent black tar heroin and the usage pf baking powder for pill & other lethal snorting narcotics. Constructing these props pushed Gangwani as an artisan to think further in evaluation of ones habitual pattern. It is important to learn the way a character conducts themselves, there demeanor in common life situations in order to properly nail their environment.
