Art Department for Feature Film

When a reclusive botanist discovers his rare orchid can manipulate human emotions, his secluded life unravels. We're seeking a senior Art Director for an upcoming independent feature film, a psychological thriller with a dark, atmospheric tone. This project requires a skilled hand to craft environments that reflect the character's internal decay and the orchid's unsettling influence. You'll be responsible for leading the art department, overseeing set design, prop fabrication, and dressing, ensuring artistic consistency across all locations. We need someone with a strong portfolio showcasing experience in feature film art direction, particularly with genre projects. Experience managing a small team and working within a contained budget is essential. Please submit your reel/portfolio with your application. Prep will begin in September 2026, with principal photography planned for approximately 3-4 weeks. We're looking for someone based in the New York City area. Gear and materials will be provided by the production.
