Short description

In the days leading up to a possibly career-changing exhibition, a sculptor navigates her relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.

What's left behind the scenes

The artwork created by Michelle Williams’ character is actually the work of artist Cynthia Laity from Portland, whose work director and screenwriter Kelly Reichardt has followed for a long time. Furthermore, Laity is very close friends with Jonathan Raymond, with whom Reichardt co-wrote the screenplay. She actually wrote the screenplay with Laity in mind, but when she called the artist, she found out that Laity was planning to retire. Laity coached Williams before filming, and, by participating in the film, decided not to retire. By the end of filming, she had created so much new artwork that her studio was completely full.
The artworks created by Michelle Williams' character are actually the creations of Portland artist Cynthia Laty, whose work director and screenwriter Kelly Reichardt has followed for a long time. In addition to everything else, Laty is very close with Jonathan Raymond, who co-wrote the screenplay with Reichardt. Reichardt actually wrote the script with Laty in mind, but when she called the artist, it turned out that Laty was planning to retire. Laty coached Williams before filming and, by participating in the movie, decided not to quit her career after all. By the end of production, she had created so many new pieces of art that there was hardly any room to move in her studio.
