We chat with MontanaStory's writer-director duo David Siegel and Scott McGehee about the challenges they faced while bringing this breathtaking Western to life:
Writer-director duo David Siegel and Scott McGehee tell a moving family story in their new drama Montana Story, which can now be seen in theaters. Focusing on a pair of estranged siblings at a critical juncture in their lives and their family, Montana Story dealt with some geographically-based challenges in the making of the film. In the end, these proved worthwhile in adding to its story and countryside cinematography.
Screen Rant: With the experience of making Montana Story, what was the most memorable aspect of making the film for each of you?David Siegel: Positive or negative? It was an amazing experience. We got hit by some crazy weather, some really historically bad....David Siegel: Montana weather, and weather that we weren't really expecting, because we started shooting in the middle of October.
David Siegel: The weather was so extreme in some places like the mine scene and the ranch sometimes that you really wondered, and there was no like, 'Let's wait for the wind to die down', you sort had to shoot. And the more we shot, the more we thought 'Well, this is going to be quite romantic and beautiful along the way', and it turned out, we feel, that it is.
Scott McGehee: But Owen's character Cal, in particular, we've been watching a lot of mid-century movies over the course of the pandemic when we were in lockdown, and we were talking a lot at the time, there's a kind of fragile, masculine character, a Montgomery Clift-like character, but there are versions of that kind of character in mid-century movies, and we were talking about how we don't see that kind of character.
