Once in a great time, You get some wonderful jobs that get creative and expressive at the same time. This is what happened when two actors and producers, Kerry Cashion and Gina Travis, came to me about a project that they were working on. It was their goal to create a movie poster for their pilot, Beautifully Departed. It was nice to sit down with both Kerry and Gina and get the over all direction of the show so that I could come up with something that took it to the next level. Our goal was to shoot in a funeral home, but we all thought it would be nice to have something outside since it was a lovely day on Feb. 21 in Hickory, N.C. We received some great tips while on set of this shoot and decided to take a more gothic look at this very funny show about a funeral director and her best friend. Thanks to both of them for allowing our crew to take this back a few steps and then rise to the occasion.
