Film: Meant to Be | 2009

“A delightful romantic comedy about a guardian angel who falls for the young woman he is supposed to protect.”
It was indeed a unique experience for a set decorator to have an entire month to decorate an empty mansion. This opportunity was given to Sophie Aurélie as the set decorator for Meant to Be, a film starring Mia Maestro as Gigi, an eccentric Puerto Rican designer. Creatively, it was a fun assignment, with sets that were lavish in textures and colors, infused with humor and original details. Sophie Aurélie designed a setting with a unique personality that matched the eccentricity of one of the main characters.
In addition to the Puerto Rican Eccentric Mansion, Sophie Aurélie also decorated God’s Library, the Newspaper Coffee Shop, and the Archaeological Site of an old church, a police station —some of her favorite sets to work on. Despite facing several production challenges, the hard work of the set decoration department was greatly appreciated.
