Films and Locations
A film every couple of years is going to last more than a play well. For this one, certainly, my parents live just across the Bay from the Aron Island. I always wanted to set something there and captured a beauty of it with three billboards. Also was to try and capture almost an old American small town with like a street that's kind of both sides close together and, you know, one horse sort of town. So location is always an obviously, the bruise is a character. And I do like the locations to be characters in the movies as much as possible.
