Joey Ostrander: Toronto International Film Festival

Detroit Unleaded, a feature film by a team that includes Production Designer Joey Ostrander (BFA 2007), will première at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday, Sept 9^th, 2012. 

The film was produced and filmed locally in Detroit, Dearborn, and other locations across the metro area. Some of the major design tasks included: completely redesigning and remodeling an abandoned Detroit gas station from the inside out, stripping and redecorating an entire Dearborn home for the story’s central Arab-American family, and resurrecting a vintage rural gas station that hadn’t operated in decades. Primary locations were redesigned twice to exist during two time periods separated by 10 years.
