Built in 1954, the Ghost Studio building began its life as a post office before later serving as a union meeting hall. When I acquired it in 2020, much of its original mid-century character remained untouched. A time capsule of textures, colors, and craftsmanship.

After countless layout iterations and design explorations, it became clear that achieving the remodel I envisioned would require a complete interior demolition. The thought of erasing that history was painful, and I felt compelled to honor the building’s legacy before transforming it. Facing a sparse schedule while on productions and needing to be moving forward with the demolition phase of the remodel, it was a pressured yet obvious choice to pull the trigger.

I assembled my dream team of stylists and crew to reimagine the building’s past by creating The Window, a short film that captures the nostalgic essence of the space and celebrates its enduring character. The project went on to become an award-winning feature at the 2021 LA Fashion Film Festival.
