Senna Costumes

The first time we see our protagonist she's wearing pajamas, but the director wanted the pajamas to mean something. The hand prints and child's writing, "Best dad in the world!" in Spanish, show that she's a mom separated from her husband and child. The color pallet of the film was the bright colors of Mexico contrasted with the bland, boring colors of the world around her.

Ximena's color pallet was grey and pale yellow for the majority of the film, and brighter yellow for the end of the film. Andreas, her co-worker at the plant, wears tribal and stoner-type clothes to denote his easy going lifestyle.

This is a full body image of the bright clothing colors she wears. The bright Mexican backpack is constantly with her to remind her of home.

The pool is the only place where Ximena can really let herself be free. The grey colors in her swimsuit signal her loneliness in the world.

This character ended up being cut from the final film due to length, but her role was to guide Ximena to a place where she could feel safe. In this case, her home in a garage. Bright colors denote that Ximena isn't as alone in this world as she first thought.

Both Natalia and her husband, Paul, wear blue, symbolizing their coldness toward Ximena, even though Natalia is allowing her to stay in their home.

This little kid was such a joy to have on set with us, and he's once again dressed in bright colors, symbolizing Mexico and home. Due to shooting schedule I was able to get him to put his hand prints on the shirt before we filmed it.

Since we couldn't get an actual border patrol guard, I had to recreate a border patrol guard. A stop into a police gear store and some patches printed and ironed on resulted in a film-accurate border patrol guard.
