Short description
A woman in her sixties embarks on a journey through the western United States after losing everything in the Great Recession, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot in seven states over four months, during which Frances McDormand performed various jobs typical of people engaged in nomadic activities. For example, she harvested beets and packed Amazon orders.
- Many of those who filmed with Frances McDormand (such as Swankie and Bob Wells) had no idea they were working with a Hollywood star. Bob had no idea at all until the shooting of an emotional scene in which Fern remembers her deceased husband, Bo. He then told her privately that he understood her perfectly and that everything would be alright. It was then that McDormand informed him that her husband's name is Joel Coen, that he is alive, and that she herself is an actress. Wells was very surprised.
- There is indeed a town called Empire in the state of Nevada. It was built by the Gypsum Corporation for its workers. In 2011, the company closed the mine and gave the workers and their families 5 months to vacate the houses owned by the company. Subsequently, the zip code was cancelled, and Empire became a ghost town.
- With the exception of Frances McDormand and David Strathairn, most of the film's actors are genuine nomads and local residents.
- Frances McDormand dubbed the van from the film "The Vanguard." She decorated it with her personal belongings and slept in it during filming. Eventually, she stopped because it was much easier to pretend to be exhausted than to actually be so.
