Job Description: About the Project
United Metals is a 16mm black and white short film set in Philadelphia’s Fishtown/Kensington neighborhood. The film follows two neighbors — a working-class exterminator and a gentrifier from Portland — who begin as antagonists and find themselves bound together by circumstances neither expected. A sacred fable disguised as a Philly street film.

Role Overview
We are seeking a Costume Designer to collaborate closely with the director and cinematographer to develop the visual language of each character through clothing. Because the film shoots in black and white on 16mm, the designer must think in terms of texture, tone, and silhouette rather than color. Character-driven, grounded, and specific to place.
Responsibilities

Develop costume concept for two principal characters reflecting their class, background, and arc
Source, pull, and prep all wardrobe within a limited budget
Collaborate with the Director and Cinematographer on how costumes read in black and white on film
