Meemaw
After a string of unsolved grisly murders, a local town sheriff in 1988 West Texas receives a comical confession from the most unlikely source: the small town’s stately (and confused) grandmother.
Some grandmas bake pies. Others bury secrets. A Coen Brothers style Southern dark comedy neo-noir. Themes of: loneliness and memory loss, Americana and decay, the invisibility of aging women, and violence beneath politeness. Actor showcase.
Human
Script, performance, and the sweeping cinematography stay with the writers and the director.
Machine
Research boards, editing, music, sound mixing. Nothing that decides the frame.
