It’s really nice to have a large chunk of time blocked out in the schedule to be shooting multiple sets at one location. As a whole, production was very self-contained.

HT: There were many positive aspects to shooting at Big Sky Movie Ranch. You shot a lot of Claire’s house at the famous Big Sky Movie Ranch, where titles such as Men in Black, Transformers, Tales From the Crypt and Twin Peaks have been filmed. My Art Director, Eric Quintana, who was also set decorating, was out-sourcing during the first week we were filming for many of the sets, when we arrived at Big Sky Movie Ranch. We only had two weeks for prep before we started shooting. As a result, when we sat down for the read through of the script, I was able to begin to piece the visuals together. Elle and I had a number of discussions before preproduction. I always like to work out those details ahead of time so I’m able to see the big picture in my mind before my team starts to source to bring the Director’s vision to life. Art has so many overlaps with the other departments. HT: Preproduction began with an initial read through with all the department heads. What did pre-production look like for you on Witch Hunt?
With this script, I felt I could design something a bit more stylized, that was based in altered reality, which resonated with me. Many people think that way about witchcraft in general. I’m drawn to anything dark, moody and slightly off, as if you feel like something isn’t quite right. After giving it a read through and chatting with Elle Callahan about her vision and the story she was trying to tell, I immediately wanted to be involved. So when he sent me this script, I was excited to see what was involved. I had worked with the line producer, Chris Abernathy, on two previous films. Holly Trotta: Witch Hunt was the third feature I had production designed with Defiant Studios. How did you first become involved with Witch Hunt? Witch Hunt originally premiered at this year’s SXSW and is now available in theaters, VOD and digital. To learn more about the look of the film, we spoke to Holly exclusively below.
The significance of certain objects and color make the film very stimulating to watch, all while pushing the story along. There are many aspects of the film that stand out, one of those being the production design by Holly Trotta ( Phobias). As witch hunters close in and strange magic begins haunting the family, Claire discovers that she may have more in common with these witches than she could have ever imagined. However, when their mode of transport is disrupted by federal witch hunters, trouble befalls the family as they struggle to hide two young witches within the walls of their home. Written and directed by Elle Callahan, the official synopsis reads: In a modern America where magic is real and witches are persecuted by US authorities, teenager Claire and her family are part of an intricate network that helps these women escape across the border to seek asylum in Mexico.
