,” about a pair of sisters who go deep into the underbelly of their New England hometown to cover up a crime. But the filmmakers’ relationship dates back further than that — to the days when they were shooting shorts and making music videos on Coney Island. They moved to Los Angeles at the same time and worked on sketch comedy videos. “We met behind the camera,” Krudy says. Cole adds, “It was so rare to meet another girl doing camera stuff.
Those commonalities helped early in the writing process. “We were playing sea shanties to get inspired,” Cole says, “and we latched on to that, which helped us find the tone of the film.” Krudy adds that New England-set movies such as “Mystic River,” “Mystic Pizza” and “Dolores Claiborne” also helped put them in the mood.
When it came to capturing the grit and natural look of the film, Todd Banhazl — who said he wanted the film to feel as if it were a foggy and salty experience — was the ideal director of photography. Cole jokes that Banhazl said he wanted to make things feel “like a movie found at the bottom of a pile of fish guts.”Krudy notes that Banhazl’s camera was a key player. “He found the right touch to help balance how the camera told the story,” Krudy says.
Banhazl also accented naturalness when filming the women. “He wanted to enjoy the wrinkles and the older faces,” Cole says. He would embrace them, and establish a familiarity for the viewer. That went a long way toward giving those characters a larger-than-life feel — a necessary note, Cole explains, because these women are the power that runs the town.
