Set decoration visually communicates time, place, and tone. A well-decorated set immerses the audience in the world of the film, making scenes more believable and emotionally impactful. Whether it's a cluttered apartment or a grand palace, every object contributes to storytelling. It transforms a script into a living, breathing environment, turning fiction into a tangible cinematic experience. Mike Kasper is a production designer for film and TV. He's worked on such things as True Fiction and the upcoming This Too Shall Pass . This event is sponsored by the Calgary Society of Independent Filmmakers . CSIF was founded in 1978 by a collective of twelve filmmakers who saw the growing need for film resources and film equipment on the traditional Treaty 7 territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), also known as Calgary, Alberta.
