Over at the official SPIDER BABIES site, we have started to roll out interviews with the cast and crew. They are pretty quick reads and some of them are pretty hilarious. We have definitely put together an incredible team for this project.

We will be adding more interviews and lots of other behind-the-scenes content in the days and weeks to come.

Costume Design Production Wall

Costume and Makeup Production Wall
These days, I feel like a nomad. I don’t even have a permanent place to call home – instead I rely on the kindness and couches of family and friends. When this is all over and I have a permanent residence, I will owe lots of couch-surfing time to so many people. The reason for all the traveling is that the Spider Babies cast and crew are scattered across different cities in Texas and Oklahoma. I am putting lots of mileage on my sad, abused Honda Civic. Yesterday, I paid a visit to Jacknife Ruby on my way back to Austin. She has already completed a ton of work on the costumes – but I was even more excited to see another production wall. At every stop I make, it seems like there is some kind of collage-style wall, each wall reflecting a different aspect of the movie. I snapped a few photos.

Originally, we had planned on bringing in Jacknife for just hair and makeup on the girls. But she is way too talented to use in such a limited capacity. Over time her role has grown to encompass hair, makeup and costumes for the entire production. She has taken the ball and run with it and the results are going to be amazing. Here’s a preview of Polly’s bikini!

We’ll have a lot more for you to look at in the weeks to come. Meanwhile, check out this interview with Jacknife Ruby.
