Art direction for the 22nd Annual Oscar®-Qualifying HollyShorts Film Festival, August 13–23, 2026, at the TCL Chinese Theatres in Hollywood.
The official poster is a hand-painted festival night: a red carpet through a packed house to the screen, the Chinese Theatre on one side and the Ovation Hollywood arch on the other. The figures dancing on that screen became the festival’s system, one on every badge, and the 22 is drawn in film strip.
Work includes: official poster, festival logo, badge design, merch design, wine label, production design across the TCL Chinese Theatres and Ovation Hollywood (step-and-repeats, tower signs, marquee, courtyard and directory screens, DJ booth), on-screen creative, and social media assets.
