It is 1928, in a little town near Boston, many women have recently gone missing. The police started to investigate the strange situation but quickly gave up when the trail went cold. The daughter of the sheriff, Helen, decided to investigate on her own after her close friend disappeared. After getting her hands on the police report, Helen found all the disappearances lead to a specific speakeasy, which is a hidden underground bar disguised as a standard store during the prohibition in the 1920s. After furthering her search clues revealed intriguing details about the bar owner. Helen disappeared soon after her investigation began. He knew she’s been watching him. As depicted in my movie poster, the scene portrayed is of the scene where Helen is abducted brutally. Aggressively the abductor’s hand is placed over her face, and as she tries to scream, a pillowcase is shrouded over her face. I designed the poster on Adobe Photoshop.
The artist that influenced my movie poster was René Magritte. Magritte was born November 21, 1898, lived in Belgium, and then passed away on August 15, 1967. He contributed to three major art movements: data, modern, and surrealist movements. Magritte appealed to me because of his unique style; he created his signature style by placing ordinary, often mundane objects in unconventional locations. His artworks are highly realistic with elements that serve to heighten the fantastical and sometimes eerie nature. My art reflects a lot of the same themes, and I hope I can evoke mystery and questioning of the imagery. I also used similar objects as Magritte to illustrate the scene in the movie poster.
