Salvador Perez

Bio

Salvador Perez’s credits include the CBS vampire drama MOONLIGHT and VERONICA MARS, the feature films DRUMLINE, directed by Charles Stone III; the comedy CHASING PAPI, directed by Linda Mendoza; the family film CATCH THAT KID; the comedy MR. 3000, starring Bernie Mac, and the George Tillman Jr. films SOUL FOOD and MEN OF HONOR. Before becoming a Costume Designer, Salvador worked as an Assistant Costume Designer and Costume Manufacturing Foreman, building costumes for films like STARGATE, THE FLINTSTONES, BARB WIRE, CASPER, THE BRADY BUNCH, ACE VENTURA: WHEN NATURE CALLS, THE PHANTOM and the Oscar®-winning epic TITANIC. Perez reunited with Kevin Smith after working with him when he guest starred on VERONICA MARS. Designing the costumes for ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO was a challenge, as the characters were supposed to be broke. Everything had to be aged down and look well worn. To contrast the grey gloomy city, his costume color palette was bright and colorful. Especially fun was designing all the hand made knit goods that Miri made for herself and Zack.
