Production Design
Felicia's Journey by Atom Egoyan
Workshop Design Brief for National Film and Television School Production Design MA Course
Film Synopsis:
Felicia, an Irish teenager flees to Birmingham to find the boyfriend who got her pregnant and with whom she lost touch. On her search, she meets Joseph Hilditch, an overly helpful, kind, but desperately lonely man in his 50s. His loneliness formed his addiction to aiding lost girls and women in need of help. He was so desperate to keep them by him that when they tried to leave, he killed them.
Joseph Hilditch lives in the same large house where he grew up, with his mother - a famous TV chef and single mother in the early 60s. Joseph's Mother used her son as an accessory in her cooking show and deprived Hilditch of motherly love. There is no mention of the father in any of the story.
The Design Brief was to design Joseph Hilditch's House.
