An exerpt from Sarah Boslaugh’s interview with Director Debra Granik during the Seattle Film Festival, “Finally, I’d like to give a shout-out to the Missouri Film Commission including Director Jerry Jones and Assistant Director Andrea Sporcic as well as the Missouri Tax Incentive Program, which was instrumental in having this film shot in Missouri rather than one of the other locations considered. It’s a Missouri story and a great film as well so everyone who helped make that happen should be proud.” – Debra Granik
