Ahead of Hoard arriving in cinemas next month I wanted to touch on some of the objects that entered the chaos of Marias houses. We wanted each prop to be part of the 'catalogue of love'. I wanted to make sure each item was dressed in the set as if the found item was going to last forever. Of course they all didn't but Luna let them echo for a bit. Some things mirrored Marias mums mindset others were an expression of love and longing. We also had to get period appropriate found objects as the Hoard was set in the early 80s.
Here are a few references for this element of the film, personal photos that Luna kindly let me in on and some objects that made the set.
One of my favourite finds were a collection of glass bottles we later used to dress into a ceiling installation. Our Art Dept assistant Joshua Books found these in a ditch somewhere over a fence near home.
In another post I will talk about how the texture of the things we sourced were just as important to the lighting to create the right atmosphere.
