Reviews for Growing Shadows:
"Sophie Black has reinterpreted this classic DC villainess whilst also exploring her own dark obsessions in this greenhouse of horrors."

This short fan film was a passion project for Sophie and her crew, telling the story of a beloved DC character through a use of classical film-noir inspired cinematography. The shoot took place over two days, in a custom-built set in the depths below London underground. Due to the low budget, not-for-profit nature of the project, Sophie even made Poison Ivy's costume herself (as well as directing the film), using unusual, affordable, every-day materials such as builders' caulk!
To date, the film has had almost 60,000 views on YouTube alone.
