FASHION MODEL ART / 2022
Nani, a drag artist based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a true expert of her craft, Nani combines her musical background, passion for fashion, and masterful eye for aesthetics into a drag persona that is uniquely her own. Most notably, she was. a top contender in the Chicago based drag competition "Survivor", placing high in multiple challenges and evening winning a challenge!
When it came to crafting my thesis project in film school, I wanted to create something that joined together my passions for film and music. Nani and I came up with an idea to cover the song "Fashion Model Art" by Haiku Hands because the song's campy nature and subject matter fit perfectly with Nani's style of drag. We shot the project in one day over the span of 12 hours in multiple locations around Chicago including Hollywood Beach, The Art Institute of Chicago, and a dance studio.

About Me
My name is Patrick Rupp, and I am a Portland based creative from Detroit, Michigan. My whole life, I have dreamt about working in the creative industry. Growing up, my dad and I used to watch music videos together. We bonded over our shared love of film and music. When he passed away from a terminal brain tumor when I was seven, I inherited all of his movies and music. Through art, I have been able to relive many of my most cherished memories with him, and is the reason I am so passionate about my work today.
I have put my whole heart into every project that I have worked on. From commercials for local businesses, to international documentary features, I have had the opportunity to work on a wide variety of content and I am proud of everything I have done. No project is too daunting for me to handle. I have found a lot of success with my ability to troubleshoot, and come up with innovative and effective solutions. Everything that I have learned from getting my film degree at Columbia College Chicago I have applied to my work. Have something you'd like me to work on?
