Dollhouse
The New Yorker
✹ ✹ ✹
As lifelike infant dolls, “reborns” are pretty shocking to see. People either love them or hate them. I wanted to explore what was behind such polarizing opinions, and what the hobby also said about the world of adult make-believe. Ian Kibbey, one half of the commercial directing team Terri Timely, had worked with me on similar projects, and I knew this kind of story dovetailed with his interests and approach. We asked the reborn artist Kate Charles about being the subject of a short film, and were thrilled when Condé Nast Entertainment decided it would be a great fit at The New Yorker.
