'Blackmail' (Dir. Obi Emelonye)
ray chinda is a popular actor with a model family, living his ideal life in north london, until one unfortunate online escapade...
when chinda's life is turned upside down by a hacker oligarch in desperate need of cash, chinda must act fast to destroy the online evidence before his reputation is irrepairably shattered.
As the Production Designer for the film, I was responsible for conceptualising and building the set (SEE CONCEPT ARTWORK TOP IMAGES 1-4), as well as sourcing the props and set dressing. The build took place on location at Haggerston Community Centre, London. This involved converting a disused nursery space into a seedy office for cybercriminal oligarch 'Igor', and the fabrication of the police station conference and interrogation roomS.
