SAFOWA BRIGHT-ASARE - Costume Designer
|
Safowa Bright-Asare
originally worked as a Designer at top apparel design firms in Los
Angeles. She then moved into the Costume Design arena a few
years ago when she was given an opportunity to style an Ad photo shoot for
her company. She found that she absolutely loved it and decided to redirect
her career towards Film and hasn't looked back since! While dividing
her time between diverse Costume Design projects in Film, Television and
Music Videos, she has acquired extensive experience working in both contemporary
and period formats.
When Safowa was approached with the opportunity
to design the costumes for "3719 Broadleaf Road" she was excited to have a chance
to work on the ambitious project. "I had a great time working
on it-one of the many elements that attracted me to it was that it
took place in the 80's, that time period is close to my heart since
that's actually when I grew up. I was definitely up to the challenges
of the project, and looked forward to being able to tell the story
through 'true to life' costumes for that time period while still staying
in step stylistically with the dark humor of the piece. My experience
working with Max Hoffman was great - he was extremely adept in his
ability to both articulate his vision while still allowing a great
deal of room for my own interpretation of the characters." |
