“Hell or High Water” – Interview with Gil Birmingham

by Sara Michelle Fetters - August 19th, 2016 - Interviews

“[It’s] about having restraint. I can’t look into your soul. I don’t know what is the most scary to you so I have to hope that I can depict what is most personal and scary to me and then hold back and let the last bit be something that you fill in yourself. That’s the idea.”
