Debra Granik
Kristy Strouse shares her interview with director Debra Granik, discussing survivalist training, PTSD and her new film Leave No Trace.
Leave No Trace is Debra Granik’s first fiction feature in eight years, and proves that she is one of the social realist filmmakers most urgently needed in cinema right now.
In Leave No Trace, directed by Debra Granik, a father (Ben Foster) and his thirteen year-old daughter (Thomasin McKenzie) are living in an ideal existence in a vast urban park in Portland, Oregon, when a small mistake derails their lives forever.
Not only the birth of star Jennifer Lawrence, Winter’s Bone is also a gritty, eagerly grim look at small-town, poverty-stricken America.
