Anamnesis

Proof of Concept

2021

Writer: MJ Gunaratne & Jordan Brand

Director: MJ Gunaratne

Producer: Mobina Rowhani

Cinematographer: Tatijana Hamilton

My Role: Production Designer

When a career-driven divorcée discovers the memory machine her father has built, she’s forced to reckon with how she’s followed in his footsteps.

Anamnesis is a surreal high-concept feature about a crumbling father-daughter relationship and the socio-political opinions which orbit and contribute to their demise.

Anamnesis let me explore the internal struggles of belonging to two cultures through world building. I loved researching and building Sri Lankan vesak lanterns as well as discussing with the director his personal experiences to bring personal touches to the sets. Set within a black, wall-less void, I used partial sets, emphasising colour choices to convey meaning.
