Following Friday’s sold out, 450-person screening of Winter’s Bone at Missouri State’s Plaster Student Union, members of the cast and crew were joined by MSU film professors to conduct a question and answer section.
TAGsgf.com was on hand to capture the entire session surrounding the film that was named best screenplay and best film at Sundance Film Festival. While there is little way to identify who is speaking, it’s a riveting conversation about how the movie was made, what choices went into some tough decisions and how involved local people were in shaping the culture of the movie.
The first voice you will hear is WB director Debra Granik and many of the questions are asked by Missouri State film professor Mark Biggs. Also included in the discussion are Winter’s Bone actresses Lauren Sweetser (Gail), Shelley Waggener (Sonya) and Nixa native Casey MacLaren (Megan), actors Cody Brown (Floyd) and Isaiah Stone (Sonny) and actress/musician/historian Marideth Sisco.
The clip is nearly 40 minutes long, but worth it, even if you have to download it and listen to it later.
