Production Designer Laura Fox has now made a place for herself in what I could call the medium to high-end budgeted sized indie projects. Fox's most recent work will be seen via television's Lonestar this fall, and in Dustin Lance Black's What's Wrong with Virginia due out sometime this festival season.
