How ‘Waves’ director Trey Edward Shults and his cast mined old wounds for a fresh perspective on the family drama
Pulling loosely from his own life — beyond the wrestling, there’s the drug problem and the death of a parent — Shults struggled for a decade with how to weave the disparate moments he wanted to portray into a coherent narrative. At first, he says, the idea for the movie was a general story about kids and music. Eventually, he crafted a narrative for Ty, but he still felt something was off — until he came up with the idea of dual perspectives, or what he calls “the yin and yang.
“As soon as Kel wanted to play Ty it was like there’s a responsibility there for a number of reasons,” Shults says. “If we do this wrong, it’s bad.” Harrison continues, “A lot of those specific things from my own personal experience got relayed to Trey, and then Trey talked about his relationship with his stepdad and his dad, and we found these universal truths that really molded what Ronald is, which is like a dad is a dad, and the specificity of being a black dad on top of that.” The dad is brought to life with a nuanced and searing performance by Sterling K. Brown.
“Kelvin and I had dinner,” Brown remembers. “I was like, ‘You know, man, this is a big swing. I just want to make sure. I get as an artist that this is appealing, but once you put something like this into the world, it’s no longer yours. The way people react to it is theirs and they’re entitled to it, and you can’t be mad at that.’ And he’s like, ‘I’m with you. Is this a good role though?’ I said, ‘Yeah, it’s a good role.
