Dhar Mann Studios (2022-2024)
For two and a half years, Marco was the full time production designer at Dhar Mann Studios where they designed and coordinated for 8+ productions a week. This has culminated into 600+ short films since starting at the studio in 2022.
Responsibilities included set decorating, set dressing, set designing, graphic designing, photography, painting, sewing, prop making, team management, inventory, budgeting, and scheduling.

Production Design - Landscaping
I can sure fake having a green thumb! In these projects, I built some vegetable gardens on our sound stage, erected some trees with my team to cover some ugly support poles, and finally, brought a little snow to Los Angeles.
