From the beginning, the script was beautifully crafted. Not only is it judicious and economical, but when you only have 90 minutes to tell a story, you have to be really smart and clear with your storytelling. I was also so struck by the outrageous act of a man-made climate disaster that the Dust Bowl was...I think it's something that our generation needs to be educated about. It was just outrageously wild.
Only just 100 years ago, we had this unbelievable climate disaster and people don't really know that that's what it was. That really struck me as a story that needed to be told. And then at the heart of good horror is always a story of humanity and compassion, and I think that this film is not just a film that's going to scare you, but it's a film that's going to make you think and it's going to make your heart beat.
I, for one, had no idea that the Dust Bowl was a man-made disaster. So wild. And in the filming of this movie, we had to take some land and make the earth as barren.
