Lawrence Inglee
One of the producers
“All these things were at play here, and just the literal texture of the movie itself was so unique and so beautiful that its relationship to the natural world, I think that’s another element that drew us in, and its commitment to the local nature of its mythology.”

“But, one of the things we’ve often said is that it’s not necessarily correct to separate score and sound design, because every sound that you hear in a movie is part of the its music, and so this was a place we could actually literalize that.”
