The Mai Screen Drama
The Mai is about a woman in her late 30s, whose husband (and absentee father to their children) returns from having abandoned them, wanted to give their relationship another chance. The play is divided into two acts. The setting for act one is the summer of 1979 (Robert's return from a long time away) and the setting for act two is a year later.
For this project I was firstly inspired by the contemporary architecture of Irish artists such as Niall Mccullough, Dougal Sheridan, Steven Bell,etc. Another great inspiration was the architecture of Agustín Hernández Navarro. I directed this influence towards a seventies style with the right set dressing to represent the period in which the characters are set.
In my shots the aim has been to use the design of this house to create more interesting shots.
