Making of Beasts of the Southern Wild - Part I

Special Effects Unit Director Ray Tintori talks us through the film's visual effects, and how they had to navigate shots around the tragic Louisiana oil spill. Find out how Zeiltin's blown up truck became a prop, and how "as a community you can challenge some pretty fierce odds" in our behind-the-scenes documentary.

For the critically acclaimed, breakout feature Beasts of the Southern Wild, Benh Zeitlin and his small film crew, Court 13, set up production in an abandoned convenience store in Montegut, Louisiana to make a film that celebrates a place where people refuse to leave their homes—no matter how dire the situation.

It's amazing how everything fell into place for this movie. From the casting, the location, the writing, and the direction.

It works in New Orleans because community is understood and lived there. BTW, my grandmother was born in Montegut, La. in 1900. Her mother went to be with her sister whose husband had a plantation there for the birth of my grandmother. Louisiana is washing away. Only Benh cares.
