Dollhouse
The New Yorker
✹ ✹ ✹
I independently produced this short documentary that delves into the misunderstood and oft-maligned world of “reborn” artists. Having previously worked with director Ian Kibbey on a doc about the art forger Mark Landis, I suspected that eerily lifelike infant dolls might interest him. After collaborating on story research, Ian and I settled on reborn artist Kate Charles as our subject. Principal photography took place over a couple weekends, and post took a month. I screened the film for an executive at Condé Nast Entertainment who decided it’d make a great fit at The New Yorker. I then had it submitted to SXSW where the film won Special Jury Prize.
