Long-awaited by science fantasy fans since Disney’s 2010 announcement that it had retained the rights to Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 novel of the same name, “A Wrinkle in Time” made its U.S. film premiere on March 9, 2018. Two days prior, the film’s cast reunited for a screening at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center in New York City. Hosted by O, The Oprah Magazine, the event was attended by costars Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling and Storm Reid, among others.
Duggal Visual Solutions’ Ann Benson consulted with the O events team to construct a 30’ x 8’ solid framed step and repeat press wall, a sleek approach optimized through photography. The wall was designed to be constructed outdoors, though things quickly changed when the production team was met with a bit of a wrinkle of its own—a nor’easter slated to hit New York City. Due to the inclement weather, the wall needed to be reconfigured for an inside space—and quickly.
The installation team seamlessly adapted to the last-minute change of location and new venue parameters, managing all logistical elements to deliver an unblemished backdrop to a glamorous evening.
