Artist: Andrea Sisson

Synopsis:

“TV Time” is an absurd, short fashion film for independent Los Angeles designer Kieley Kimmel’s SS15 collection “TV TIME”. The film is based on her father’s habit of TV watching during his struggle with cancer, and uses an eerie archival soundtrack of old television advertisements – providing a subtle commentary on the ‘female in entertainment’. Four other short teasers also accompany this film & collection.
