In June 2019 Hillbilly Elegy began principal photography
During these quieter times it's not surprising that many of us in the film and television industry are looking back at our body of work and reminiscing about those collaborations. Hillbilly Elegy's Oscar-nominated makeup designer, Eryn Krueger Makesh, recently shared behind the scenes photos from our first day of filming up in the Appalachian mountains. And it only seemed fitting to feature that amazing filmmaking experience on my own homepage.
Based on J.D. Vance’s #1 New York Times Bestseller and directed by Academy Award winner Ron Howard, HILLBILLY ELEGY is a powerful personal memoir that deconstructs stereotypes. By following three colorful generations through their unique struggles, J.D.’s family story explores the highs and lows that define hillbilly culture. Filmed in the Appalachian mountains, Atlanta, Georgia, and Middletown, Ohio. Starring Amy Adams, Glenn Close, Gabriel Basso, Haley Bennett. With an incredible woman-lead team: Vanessa Taylor (writer), Molly Hughes (production designer), Maryse Alberti (cinematographer), Eryn Krueger Mekash (makeup), Patricia Dehaney (hair), Diana Pokorny (executive producer), Karen Lunder (producer), Monique Ganderton (stunt coordinator).
