The Disposables
Directors : Matt Page & Peter Crowder
Costume Designer : Rachel Nicole Anderson
This film was made in partnership with youtube star Matt Page as a prequel to his popular web series "Enter the Dojo" as part of the Shoot the Stars program at Santa Fe University of Art and Design. Also starring John Diehl and Laura Harring, this is a throwback homage to 80's style action comedies. Shoot The Stars was an annual program at Santa Fe University of Art and Design that allowed students to produce short films under the guidance of industry professionals and with professional SAG talent.
* This was the film that really solidified Rachel’s focus & interest in costumes as a specialty. As Costume Designer and also the on- set Key for Costumes, Hair & Makeup, it was also her first time having a team working under her to make the vision happen.

Joaquin, The Malevolent
Director : Salvador Hernandez
Costume Designer :
Rachel Nicole Anderson
This was an abstract music video done in collaboration with Rachel’s very best friends while at school, who really let her have free reign over the whole aesthetic. The concept was meant to be a sort of daymare; most of the story taking place within the main character's head. He imagines different manifestations of his "perfect woman" who all come back to haunt him. The budget? Nonexistent. The dream? A desert gothic fantasy.
* Trigger Warning : This video contains content relating to violence against women. *
