Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Will Oldham is better known as Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, the indie folk legend—Lowery cast him after seeing him live.
This was made right before Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints and prefigured his obsession with time, ghosts, and parenthood in The Green Knight and A Ghost Story.
