Production Notes

What if the one you loved literally didn’t recognize you anymore?

Would you know how to win your soulmate’s heart all over again?

Paige (RACHEL MCADAMS) and Leo (CHANNING TATUM) are a young married

couple, madly in love and living fulfilling lives as artists in Chicago.  One snowy night, the

two fall victim to a car accident. Leo survives intact, but a head trauma erases Paige’s

entire memory of her relationship with her husband.

When she comes out of her coma, Leo is a stranger to her.

Suddenly Leo finds himself in the painful position of rebooting the relationship

he’s waited his whole life for, and win his wife's love all over again. Paige has reverted

mentally to the young law student she was five years earlier, before she met Leo and

became an artist. In seemingly an instant, she is no longer the wife Leo knew, and on

top of that, she no longer recognizes her current life. She can’t fathom why she is

estranged from her parents (JESSICA LANGE and SAM NEILL), misses her more

conservative wardrobe, and doesn’t understand why she would have dropped out of

university and a promising career in law. Making matters worse, Paige thinks she's still

engaged to charming businessman Jeremy (SCOTT SPEEDMAN), who still wants her,

and remains reluctant to embrace Leo, with his less conventional lifestyle making music,

as anyone she might have ever loved.

When Paige's memory recovery appears to be a hopeless cause, Leo begins to

confront his worst fear—that he's lost the love of his life and his only family. Refusing to

give up, he decides to start fresh and court Paige as if they've just met, with the hope

that since they fell in love once, they can do it again. It’s a challenge that will test

1

everything he’s ever believed about love, about being true to oneself, and about that

sacred part of every marriage ceremony: the vow two people make to each other.

IN A LOVE REDISCOVERED, THE LOVE STORY REDISCOVERED

Everybody loves a good romance, but hasn’t every love story been told by this

point in the history of cinema?

Spyglass Entertainment Co-Chairman Roger Birnbaum admits he’d grappled with

this question for years. Then a news story crossed his desk: “I read an article about a

couple who’d been in a car accident and the woman never recovered her memories of

the man she loved.” Immediately, the unusual nature of the story spoke to him.

What happened to New Mexico residents Kim Carpenter and his wife Krickitt --

an initially tragic but ultimately uplifting saga of a man and woman who found each other

again after a seemingly insurmountable obstacle – touched many lives when it was first

reported. The Carpenters would eventually publish a book about their experience in

2000.

Spyglass producer Jonathan Glickman describes what interested them in the

Carpenters’ story. “We got excited by the idea of telling a story of a relationship that was

inspired by true events that had not yet been seen, but was also relatable to anyone

because of the universal themes about the need to adapt to change for any relationship

to last.”

Krickitt Carpenter, who has been happily married to Kim now for 18 years even

though the period of memory she lost never returned, boils down what happened to

them this way: “My husband is amazing. He did everything he could to win me back. Life

is full of ups and downs and challenges, but you have to dig down and be the best that

you can be.”

Honoring the emotional reality of such an extraordinary incident required coming

up with an original story that had the right balance, explains Glickman, “Because the

story is so emotional and gripping, we didn’t want to make it a melodrama, but

something that could elevate itself to one of those classic love stories like The Way We

Were or Love Story and at the same include relationships between parents and

daughters, sisters and friends. The script needed to be accessible, with humor and a

light touch throughout, so that we don’t take ourselves so seriously.”

If that sounds like a tall order, it was. After years in development, Spyglass was

delivered a script the producers were thrilled with. “A love story, if told properly, should

be able to connect with cultures all over the world.” Roger Birnbaum sums up: “After a

3

few attempts and over a decade of trying, we found a particular take on this story that

made sense to us and the kinds of movies that we are making now at Spyglass, which

are commercial, mainstream movies that we hope can touch audiences all over the

world.”

The next step was finding a director who could deliver on the promise of the

script. Spyglass met with Michael Sucsy who had just wrapped a movie of his own, the

much-lauded HBO film Grey Gardens. Glickman smiles, “We met with Michael and

clicked instantly. He found things about the story that none of us had thought about.”

“I just thought it sounded like an incredible premise for a film,” says Sucsy. “The

fact that two people are already in love when the movie starts, and then they’re ripped

apart, and then they have to find a way back to each other, that really touched me. The

thing that hit me the most was the fact that this could happen to anybody at any time. A

lot of time when we deal with memory loss, it’s about Alzheimer’s and growing old, but I

thought this was a really universal way of being able to relate to the problem.”

Jonathan Glickman proclaims: “Michael Sucsy is a true superstar. He is

confident, he is smart, he’s funny, but most importantly, he has a real emotional soul and

he’s not afraid to get true dramatic moments, which is why Grey Gardens was such a

success. He’s a top-notch director and we really were lucky to have him leading the ship

on this. It was almost as if we had waited that long to get Michael Sucsy to direct it.”

A COMMITMENT TO TALENT

A great script attracts a lot of great people, but finding the perfect talent to bring

Paige and Leo to life was crucial; not just the right actor and actress individually, but the

right pair. Producer Jonathan Glickman explains: “So much of the film is hinged on how

this girl actually married this guy and how she makes sense of that fact, and whether an

audience will believe that this guy could get this girl to marry him.”

“The great thing about Rachel and Channing’s pairing is that they’re both

extremely charismatic and likeable, but not necessarily from each other’s world, and they

were probably six years old when we started working on this story,” jokes Glickman, “So

there’s another element of timing in the making of this film”.

For Sucsy, casting Paige was tricky, because it was important for the character

not to come off as too distant when adjusting to her post-coma world. “The difficult thing

for an actress in approaching the role of Paige is that she comes out and she doesn’t

have any connection to her husband. He’s a stranger to her. If she’s too off-putting, it’s

4

hard to root for her. And in the case of Rachel McAdams, she’s the perfect actress to

play the role, because she can tread that line of being likeable, but being convincing that

she’s going through this process of having lost her memory.”

McAdams connected with the script and her character from the beginning: “I

loved the way the script unfolded. When we first meet Paige, she is a much more

actualized version of herself than we see later on in the film, which is kind of a

backwards way to go but exactly what I found so interesting.” She explains, “Paige has

embraced the life she’s made with Leo. They’re clearly free and comfortable and

supportive of each other; she appreciates his music and he encourages her sculpting.

But then we find out that she’s cut off from her family and denying a big part of her life.”

Channing Tatum is a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic, and felt the script told

an authentic story about a once in a lifetime love and what people will do to hold on to

that. “Falling in love is the easy part!” notes Tatum. “Getting on with your life together

and making sure you stay in touch and connected because life can get in the way

sometimes, that’s the tough part. I think that a huge part of Leo and Paige’s journey is

based on the fact that not only do they make each other intensely happy and support

each other, but that they pushed each other to grow and when you do that it really does

take you to the next level in a relationship and in life.”

It’s been said that a common reaction for people with brain trauma and memory

loss is for them feel inadequate and frustrated. The people and things they can’t

remember become associated with anxiety, frustration and confusion. This aspect also

intrigued McAdams. “It stands to reason that a person would feel overwhelmed by it all

and want to avoid what is making them feel bad about themselves even though others

are trying to help,” she says. “It must be so frustrating for everyone in this situation! So

often people have to take a stand about who they are, but then they lose important

people in their life. Paige feels inadequate and frustrated by her memory loss and at one

point just finds it easier to be away from Leo. This is about bridging the gap between

those two things and so many of us can relate to that.”

Channing admits that he found the role emotionally difficult at times because, as

a young husband himself, he couldn’t help but imagine himself in this situation: “I hope I

would be as brave as Leo is; it’s heartbreaking for him, but he has the faith to let Paige

find her own way. And this role is great because Leo is so truthful about his love, he

doesn’t hold it back, and I can relate to that. I love love! It’s harder to play than running

around with guns and being physical, but it’s very satisfying.”

Tatum says it made total sense to him to work so hard to win Paige back: “If my

wife (actress Jenna Dewan) lost her memory of me, I wouldn’t just be like ‘Okay, alright,

well, see you later, good luck’. No. I’d be fighting tooth and nail and plug away at this

until it comes back. No matter what.”

“It’s a great romantic love story but also about familial love too,” says McAdams.

“When Paige wakes up and doesn’t recognize her husband and learns that she’s

estranged from her family, she sees big holes in her life that need to be filled in. I find

that idea of not knowing if you will find your way back to your destiny so interesting.”

She continues, “Do you naturally gravitate towards all the things you were already going

towards in your life, or does it just start from scratch and you have to build yourself up as

a person all over again? And I think that’s such an interesting idea that they say you will

naturally go where you were. You’ll find your way back there even though you have to

relearn everything from scratch. A driving force through the whole movie is you’re

waiting for this epiphany, you’re waiting for that light bulb moment and it doesn’t

necessarily come.”

On Leo’s sacrifice, McAdams feels that, “It was generous and a loving act that he

gives Paige the opportunity and the space to become herself again on her own terms

and also wise of him to know that she needed to do that.”

Channing is in sync with Rachel on the choices Leo makes. “I don’t think it was

Leo’s place to tell Paige the truth about her family rift,” he notes. “If he had, she more

than likely wouldn’t go back to them, but he didn’t want her to run to him by running

away from them.” Tatum worked hard with director Michael Sucsy to find a place for Leo

where “he understands that her family is just doing whatever they possibly can to get

their daughter back and he doesn’t blame them for it but he just wishes that they would

be honest with her. He wanted her to choose to be with him.”

Tatum continues: “It’s so frustrating for Leo because there’s nothing visibly wrong

with his wife; she talks like Paige, she walks like Paige, everything is exactly the same,

but it’s just her memory of her husband is completely gone. And it’s that much more

painful that she remembered other people, her family, but just not her husband and

everything they had been together.”

For Sucsy, casting Tatum was a case of finding the soldier of love in an

established movie warrior. “The Leo role is a knight in shining armor, and prior to this I’d

only seen Channing’s work where he’d been in tough, military roles. So I went to meet

him, and we sat down, and I called the producers afterward and I said, ‘He is the guy.

6

He’s Leo. It’s perfect for him.’ I got the sense that his heart was bigger than his chest

cavity. He’s got a huge heart, Channing does, and so does Leo, and that really comes

out when he has to keep sticking with his wife through the ups and downs.”

From Rachel McAdams’ point of view, “Channing Tatum is the perfect guy for this

role because he’s a real renaissance man; chivalrous and gentlemanly. He’s playing

someone who would do anything to win back his wife’s heart and that’s very much, I

think, who Channing is. He’s a very heroic kind of guy, so yeah, and I know he loves

love and really believes in it and I think he made Leo a really stoic character that you just

fall in love with and believe that he’s definitely the rock in the relationship throughout. He

added such lovely little touches to Leo.”

Channing is equally impressed by Rachel: “Look, she is one of the most brilliant

and beautiful people that I’ve ever met. Not just as an actor, but as a person. She cares.

She has the true talent to be able to make any line work - and we’ve got some serious

big lines in this movie - which can be hard to pull off, but she just does. She has an

uncanny ability to make anything sound real and amazing because she commits and

believes in it. I’m in awe of her and I’ve learned so much from her.”

Sucsy knows he struck gold with the pairing of his stars. “You can’t fake

chemistry,” he says. “It’s there or it’s not. And the good thing is, Rachel and Channing

luckily had it. They really got along well. They light up the screen.”

In addition to attracting some of the hottest young actors to the production, the

script also drew remarkable talent to fill the key parts of the family who surround Paige

and Leo. On the supporting cast, Jonathan Glickman explains, “One of the great things

about putting this picture together was that there are such fine roles outside of the leads,

and that helps balance out the movie so that adults can say, ‘Okay, there’s something in

this movie for us as well. It’s not just a young love story, but that there are adult themes

that are going to be explored in it’.”

The producers had faith from the beginning that director Michael Sucsy would be

able to attract the best talent because he is known as such a good actor’s director.

Furthermore, Sucsy’s pre-existing relationship from Grey Gardens with Jessica Lange

helped entice her to play Paige’s mother, Rita.

“The thing I really appreciate about working with actresses like Jessica is that

they don’t just come in, say their lines, collect their check and go,” says Sucsy. “They

want to make it an experience. So we took the few scenes that Jessica plays and we

really fleshed them out and made them deeper. There’s a scene where Rachel’s

7

character is confronting her mother about something in their family, and what Jessica

brought to that scene as an actress, it kind of makes me emotional just thinking about

that day. Then you look over, and the grips and the electrics and the sound guys,

everyone’s just not paying attention to what they’re doing because her performance is so

riveting. I mean, she’s just a gem.”

From the beginning, Sam Neill was always the top choice for Bill. Jonathan

Glickman explains why: “Sam’s a fine actor who can play empathy and can play tough

equally well, and we just felt that he was a great match for Rachel and we also were

always excited about the scenes between him and Leo. We needed a formidable father

figure who would be intimidating to Channing, and let’s face it, there are not a lot of

people who would be intimidating to Channing. Sam Neill has that force. He’s done

everything in his career from being chased by dinosaurs to being with Meryl Streep

when the dingo ate the baby, so he has such a breadth of experience.”

Sucsy applauds Neill’s ability to take a potentially off-putting and arch character

and get you to see things from his perspective: “The point was to make him coming from

a good place, even if it didn’t feel that way to Paige, even if it felt controlling. He made it

feel real, made it feel grounded.”

Glickman adds, “Having Jessica and Sam, we have two of the finest actors out

there who make you believe that this story actually happened.”

Rachel can’t say enough about Jessica Lange and Sam Neill as her parents:

“They’re so great. They’re just amazing. I was so happy when they signed on to do the

movie and they both brought so much humanity to their roles. It was so lovely to watch

and they’re both exceptional and you see why they have the reputations they have.”

McAdams talks about being in a scene with Lange: “Paige’s mother could have

come off as a real villain, but Jessica played her with such empathy. Even for me as the

actor in the scene with Jessica, when she’s explaining why she stayed with Paige’s

father, I’m sitting there in awe, feeling for this woman as she talks about her commitment

to her family. At the beginning of that scene, Paige doesn’t get where her mother’s

coming from at all, and the way Jessica did it there’s just no way you couldn’t empathize

with her character. She’s incredible.”

Similarly, McAdams says that the role of Paige’s father Bill “could have been very

one-note: the villain, the father that doesn’t embrace his children and does everything

wrong, but Sam Neill brought a certain vulnerability to the character that makes him

human. And Sam is such a lovely guy.” McAdams continues, “He’s so funny in a way

8

you would not expect. He has a sense of humor that kind of creeps up on you out of

nowhere and I think that was great that he brought a little bit of that to this character.”

As for the role of Jeremy, it was important to cast an actor who had the charisma

to be a formidable foe for Leo and someone that the audience would believe Paige had

loved, and may still love. Jeremy shows the other path that Paige could have taken and

could choose again. Scott Speedman was cast in this role and did not disappoint.

“The great thing about Scott is that he plays a leading man,” explains Sucsy. “A

lot of times with Hollywood casting, you’ve got the big movie star in one role, and then

some supporting guy in the other role. Well, guess who she’s going to end up with? It

telegraphs it. So the great thing about casting Scott is that it really puts into question

who she’s going to end up with. He has to be a contender, and I love that about Scott

and his performance.”

An added bonus was that Scott and Rachel had worked together previously and

therefore evoked a natural chemistry on set. ““Scott really nailed the role. We’re lucky to

have had him,” adds McAdams.

Australian actress and Rachel McAdams lookalike Jessica McNamee was cast

as Paige’s sister Gwen. “Her audition blew me away,” says Sucsy. “And when she

showed up on set, she said not only has she always gotten that she looks like Rachel

McAdams, but her father apparently looks like Sam Neill, who’s playing her dad in the

film. So that was kind of fun!”

McAdams adds, “Jessica McNamee is an exceptional actress, and I think she’s

going to have an amazing career. And it’s really scary how much we actually look alike!”

MAKING THE VOW REAL

Principal photography on The Vow began an all-location shoot in August, 2010,

in Toronto, Canada. Because the film is set in Chicago, the last four days in October

were shot there for verisimilitude, including landmark locations.

Sucsy called on his friend and Grey Gardens production designer Kalina Ivanov

to bring her considerable talent and experience to creating the look of every unique set

in the film as well as Paige’s artwork.

Ivanov responded to the script immediately: “I loved the opportunity of having to

create these people’s lives from scratch and then having to create a whole new world for

9

them of where one of them is comfortable and the other one knows nothing about it. It

presented a great opportunity to give Paige’s character a lot of clues about her past life

and to give Leo the opportunity to use these clues in trying to rekindle their love. So

every environment I created for those characters had to serve a dual purpose: to not just

to be their environment, but also to give you the clue of what their life was like before as

a couple.”

Kalina and Michael first met at her interview for Grey Gardens and found that

they have a very similar approach to art. “We both think very conceptually, and we both

feel and think through images, so the first thing I did after I read The Vow was to find an

image of a suzannie, which is a multi-colored hand sewn bedspread from Afghanistan,

which I felt spoke of the look I wanted to create for this show.”

As for the art, believes Ivanov, “Each of Paige’s sculptures represent a time in

her life, and the fact that she was an artist was extremely appealing to me as a designer.

And the fact that she forgets how she was an artist, that her art is interrupted and she

has to find her core as an artist again, presented itself as a very interesting challenge for

me as a designer.”

Tatum gives Ivanov and Sucsy credit for the “incredibly expressive sculptures

that are beautiful but have a dark edge to them that show her pain.”

In terms of the locations, Chicago and Toronto do look in many ways alike says

Ivanov: “They are both towns from the same era and they’re both on lakes, so the

architectural vernacular isn’t that different.”

As for working with director Michael Sucsy, Rachel McAdams smiles. “Michael

makes everything fun,” she notes. “He set the tone from the beginning that if nothing

else we were just going to have a great time and hopefully, the rest would work out. I

love that he’s very much about the process and not the end result, which of course I

know is always in the back of his mind, but it’s the journey for him, which is lovely.”

Involved in every aspect of making the film, Sucsy was even there for Rachel’s

hair consultations, wardrobe fittings and the art. “Michael is just so much a part of it all!

He’s collaborative and totally open to new ideas.” Rachel recounts a moment when

Michael told her that he believed in the love story and had a feeling in his solar plexus

when he thought about her and Channing together. “I’ve never heard about the solar

plexus being an intuitive place on the body, but it is for him, and it was just so sweet.

Yeah, he’s just been a lovely support throughout,” says McAdams.

10

Channing Tatum credits Michael Sucsy with being able to bring the best out in

his talent. “I think Michael is a sculptor in a way,” says Tatum. “He has a real sense of

how he wants things, and that’s an awesome safety net for an actor. It’s especially

impressive when you remember that this is only his second movie!” The actor continues

to sing Sucsy’s praises: “Michael loves the written word and has a real sense of reality

and language that I think helps him help us walk the line between over the top schmaltzy

and authentic. It’s so helpful to be able to trust that in a director and not be afraid to go

too far, not be afraid to undersell it and really just trust that he’s going to go and put all

the places in and really ride the wave of a really good rollercoaster of emotion.”

For Kim Carpenter, the movie inspired by their remarkable love story may be the

tale of a newly imagined screen couple, but watching it he couldn’t help recognizing the

emotional truth of what he’d gone through in real life. In particular, he cites the uncanny

acting choice Tatum made when Leo first learns that Paige doesn’t remember him. “He

went outside and slid down the side of a [vending] machine,” notes Carpenter. “It’s a

really powerful moment in the movie. Well, ironically, once I discovered my wife didn’t

recognize me, I went outside the door and slid down the wall and buried my head

between my legs. Things like that. The gravity of a lot of the scenes. It actually made me

cry! I was really happy with it.”

All in all, Channing Tatum sums up the core of the movie’s message this way:

“It’s a big deal to vow yourself for life to somebody and mean it. It really is something.”

For Roger Birnbaum, seeing The Vow to fruition was everything he’d hoped for

since he first heard the Carpenters’ story. “With world class director Michael Sucsy and a

truly stellar cast, we couldn’t be more happy with The Vow. At the end of the day, we

want to make movies that will appeal to a wide spectrum of audiences and make them

as well as possible.”

Montiel’s impoverished and violent life from his youth (portrayed by Shia LaBeouf) to

adulthood (portrayed by Robert Downey Jr.). His father is portrayed by Chazz Palminteri

and Tatum plays the role of ‘Antonio’, Dito’s best friend. Newsday called his performance

“charismatic” with Daily Variety going on to say that “Tatum creates a powerful study of a

self-destructive street guy trapped with no good options.” Rolling Stone stated, “keep

your eyes on newcomer Channing Tatum as Dito’s loose-cannon friend Antonio.

Shirtless and oozing physical and sexual threat, Tatum stalks his turf like Brando in

Streetcar.” The Boston Herald referred to his performance as “Robert De Niro-esque”

and The New York Times states “Mr. Tatum, who has the bullish physicality of a young

Brando, is an electrifying actor, and I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more of him after this

breakout performance.”

In March 2006, Tatum starred opposite Amanda Bynes in the Dreamworks film,

She’s the Man. This film is directed by Andy Fickman and produced by Lauren Shuler

Donner.

In August 2006, Tatum starred in the box office hit, Step Up, directed by Anne

Fletcher and produced by Adam Shankman. The film centers around ‘Tyler Gage’,

service at a high school for the performing arts.

Angeles with his wife, Jenna Dewan.

In 2003, Sucsy began work on Grey Gardens, a film based on the famous true

story of Jackie O’s eccentric relatives ‘Big Edie’ Bouvier Beale and ‘Little Edie’ Bouvier

Beale. After viewing the well-known documentary of the same name, Sucsy was inspired

to write and direct a narrative feature about the reclusive mother-daughter duo and

immediately embarked on what was to become a six-year process to get Grey Gardens

made.

While he researched and wrote the script, Suscy would wake up at 5AM daily

and work for several hours before heading to a full-time job assisting an entertainment

lawyer.  

In 2005, two years after his initial idea to write Grey Gardens, a first draft was

finished and immediately became a hot read. With Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore

attached based on the strength of the script, the project made its way to HBO who in

2006, announced that Grey Gardens was moving into production. After another year of

script development and pre-production, principal photography on Grey Gardens began in

October 2007. The film wrapped just two months later in December 2007, on time and

under budget.

After six years, the film had high-profile premieres preceding its HBO premiere at

the legendary Ziegfeld Theater in New York City and at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater

in Hollywood. Grey Gardens debuted on HBO in April 2009 to great acclaim from critics

and audiences both new and old to the Grey Gardens phenomenon. The film has

received multiple awards including 6 Primetime Emmy® Awards, including Best Made

for Television Movie, and the 2009 Television Critics Association award for Outstanding

Achievement Movies, Mini-Series, and Specials. The film’s 17 Primetime Emmy®

Award nominations, including three for Sucsy, tied the all-time nomination record for

made for TV movies. Grey Gardens also has won the Broadcast Film Critics Award and

Golden Globe for Made for Television Movie or Mini-Series.

For Grey Gardens, Michael has also been nominated for the Directors Guild of

After living in the UK for ten years, where he produced many albums for Peter

Gabriel's label, Real World, Michael moved to California to write for films. Soon after, he

scored the Academy Award nominated film, The Fires of Kuwait, played guitar on

Michael Mann's Heat, then was asked to score Kevin Spacey's Albino Alligator and Paul

Schrader's Affliction.  As a guest artist, his unique guitar sound can be heard on many

films, including Black Hawk Down, Mission Impossible 2, The Pledge, and The Town.

His most recent scores are for The Vow, co-composed with Rachel Portman and

Undefeated. All original music for U2's new documentary, From The Sky Down, was

composed by Brook.

Both From The Sky Down and Undefeated were shown at the 2011 Toronto Film

Festival.

He has also composed the scores for the following feature films; The Fighter,

starring Mark Walburg and Christan Bale, directed by David O. Russel, Country Strong,

starring Gwynneth Patrow and Tim McGraw, directed by Shana Feste, and El Infierno, a

hot-button topical Mexican film about the effects of drug cartels in Mexico, directed by

29

Luis Estrada.  

On the green side of things, he wrote the score for Al Gore's An Inconvenient

Truth, Who Killed the Electric Car, and the recently released Eco-Pirate. As well, he was

nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Score for Sean Penn's Into the Wild.  

Along with a distinctive harmonic sensibility and the iconic infinite guitar sound,

Brook is becoming known for having strings in his music, some say due to his being

married to a lovely and talented violinist.

On the album front, one of Michael's greatest talents is collaborating with

international superstars, such as the late Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn, the great Armenian

duduk master Djivan Gasparyan, Youssou N'Dour, U. Trinivas, as well as Mary Margaret

O'Hara, The Pogues, and Bryan Ferry, and the incomparable Lisa Gerrard. His most

recent albums are, RockPaperScissors, Bell Curve, and Penumbra.

ALEX KAVANAGH (Costume Designer) recently designed the costumes for

Vincenzo Natail's sci-fi thriller Splice, Darren L. Bousman's rock opera Repo! The

Genetic Opera, the very successful horror films SAW II through VII, George A. Romero's

Survival Of The Dead, George A. Romero's Diary Of The Dead and George A. Romero's

Land Of The Dead as well as Ginger Snaps II and III.

Kavanagh enjoys a creative challenge utilizing her theatre training at the

Dalhousie University Costume Studies program, from which she graduated in 1992. Her

work can be seen in the MTV produced Made: The Movie; Camille starring Sienna Miller

and James Franco; and the comedy Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle.
