Underseen Indies: Leave No Trace

from Screenplaying

Folks from the Screenwriting MFA at Western Colorado University's Graduate Program in Creative Writing and folks from The Crested Butte Film Festival come together in this episode to exchange ideas about Debra Granik's powerful indie film Leave No Trace, starring Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie. The story of a traumatized veteran living off the grid and unhoused with his devoted teenage daughter, and how their worldviews change when they are discovered and reintroduced to society is loaded with great acting and powerful thematic undercurrents. This is another "Underseen Indie" that needs to be seen! Our theme music is by Levgen Poltavasky at Pixabay and our audio wizard is Mike Janowski. Thank you for listening to another Screenplaying podcast, and exploring the art of cinema and the lost art of conversation!
