Art Director

TCL Chinese Theatres, Hollywood, August 2026

Art direction for the 22nd Annual Oscar®-Qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival, August 13 to 23, 2026, at the TCL Chinese Theatres in Hollywood.

The official poster is a hand painting of the festival: the red carpet, the audience, the screen, the Chinese Theatre and the Ovation Hollywood arch. The dancing figures on the screen are used across the badges, merch and signage. The 22 logo is drawn as a film strip.

Work includes: official poster, festival logo, badge design, merch design, wine label, production design across the TCL Chinese Theatres and Ovation Hollywood (billboards, step-and-repeats, tower signs, marquee, directory screens, DJ booth), on-screen creative, and the social media campaign (creative direction and hundreds of graphics).
