"The Lactating Automaton"

Written and directed by acclaimed filmmaker Andrew Legge “The Lactating Automaton” [35mm shortfilm] is set in the early 1900’s and tells the story of Maria, a young girl raised by a robotic wet nurse after both of her parents die.
The Production Designer on the film was Olwen Kellaghan, with Art Direction by Jessica Timlin. As Art Direction Assistant, I was tasked with creating a number of once-off props and detailed instruments for the elaborate sets, as well as models for use with some of the films stunts. The props were made within a two week time frame and within an extremely limited budget. Please see below. 


“The Lactating Automaton”, starring Dominic West [The Wire, 300] will be premiered in 2011 in the Lincoln Theatre in New York.
