The makers of Hatboxes take seriously the copyright
interests of other artists, and so the production designer
placed paintings by artists who granted us permission to feature their works in
Hatboxes.
Paintings of large flowers by Kent Darwin (my dad) hang on the
walls of Miriam's dining room. He also
painted the apple-and-honey-jar image that appears on a Rosh Hashanah card at the end of
the film.

A subtle painting on silk much like this one by Mai Wagner appears in Miriam's
living room among bookcases filled with books. Mai is an old friend of the
woman who graciously let her flat stand in for Nadine's over the course of two days of shooting.
The vortex that swirls over Nadine's bed dominates a painting
by Isabelle Marraud Robinson, a French artist and web designer based in Alexandria, Virginia. Across the room is a lively abstraction by Kelly Foersterling, whose
grandmother passed away at 94 last year after a lifetime spent painting.
The Hatboxes logo is the work of Chicago-based graphic
designer Erika Linden Green. It captures the bold and the classic, which
is how we hope the film's story operates, too.
