Project Overview
Delivered is a gripping short film that follows a food delivery driver caught in a life-threatening situation involving drug-addicted parents and a baby’s life hanging in the balance.
The film explores themes of grief, unresolved trauma, and substance abuse, aiming not only to engage audiences but to raise awareness.
Design Concept
The Bryce Residence was designed as a space filled with trauma and despair but subtly contrasted with warmth to symbolize innocence and hope.
The interrogation room was created to feel stark, cold, and oppressive, heightening the tension between characters.
Careful attention was given to color palettes, textures, and set dressing to reinforce the emotional weight of each scene.
