Trial Sneaky - Muses Delight

 
The Film

When a budding romance falls apart, a broken-hearted woman takes her oblivious ex to trial in a fantastical "Court of Relational Justice" where even an unread text is a punishable offense. But the scorned lover’s campaign for justice will open the door to some uncomfortable truths.

 
Behind the Scenes

The courtroom scene was meant to feel like a dream-like episode of a TV court show

Will Arnett was a strong reference for this character

We had a very DIY lighting set up but it worked thanks to James Hansen!

We watched many courtroom shows/films to prep for this. My favorite was My Cousin Vinny.
