Director Luke Gilford also discusses the importance of creating a queer story filled with hope.
The Big Picture National Anthem marks Luke Gilford’s feature directorial debut, but based on how he and star Charlie Plummer describe their experience making the film, it seems as though he already knows precisely how to create the most supportive and creatively fulfilling environment on set.
LUKE GILFORD: National Anthem is a Western for the new world. It's a love story. It's told through the experience of Dylan, played by the brilliant Charlie Palmer, who is a construction worker in New Mexico, 21 years old, takes care of his younger brother and his alcoholic mother.
CHARLIE PLUMMER: Oh man, I don't know if they all have a shared quality, but I do think there has to be something that speaks to you. I think with Luke, music was something that we immediately connected on, really before we seriously spoke about fully doing it together.
Charlie, to talk a little bit about Dylan now, going into filming, what particular quality of his were you most looking forward to playing, but then also, what part of his experience wound up being more creatively fulfilling to dig into than you ever could have imagined? Speaking of that character, and also all of the supporting characters in this movie, I want to go back to what you were saying about actors having different processes. Can you maybe pick two members of this ensemble who have different approaches to the work where it called for something different from you as an actor's director?
GILFORD: It was like one take. It was all just in the moment of their honest interaction, so that was a really inspiring way for us to bring out the truth and the heart of the scene.
