Sarah Boll, a free-lance graphic designer, who lives in Chinatown in Manhattan, has mastered the art of film replication. Having an account on Instagram, which I don't follow, her work went beyond that site and into the Internet Universe. I learned of her replication of the set of 1997's "Titanic," which she deserves credit for, but as for the film, I don't give a rat's ass about it.
But her current project wants me to reach out and say, "Hey, Sarah, can I see it?"
All the rooms are replications of sets from "The Wizard Of Oz!!!!!!!!!!!" The above is one of my favorites, the Munchkinland set, which was one of the greatest sets of all time. I would step into Sarah's apartment, just to see this.
But Sarah, hon, how do you do all this creative work on a freelancer's salary? To replicate any film would cost a pretty penny. And I have a few post Oz suggestions, like: "Gone With The Wind," "The Song Of Bernadette," "Doctor Zhivago," "Gigi," and "My Fair Lady."
Sarah, "The Wizard Of Oz" has been my all-time favorite film since I first saw it at the age of four. Over the years, I have lost count of how many viewings I have had, but I would honestly put it at somewhere in the sixties. Maybe more.
The point is, I love what you have done and would like to see it. You could make a mint conducting tours of your apartment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your design brings new meaning to the film's final line, "There's no place like home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
