” is set in Los Angeles but doesn’t play out amid the glitz of Hollywood. The Focus Features film, which hits theaters Sept. 25, is about a family of grifters. Evan Rachel Wood plays Old Dolio, the daughter of parents who have taught her the family trade: running scams to pay the bills. But her world changes when she meets an outsider, Melanie , who has been invited to take part in their biggest heist yet.
Production designer Sam Lisenco points out that July’s locations were composed of “North Hollywood, the City of Industry and Vernon — all these subservient satellite regions of L.A.” For him and costume designer Jennifer Johnson , the family’s circumstances, as well as the instructions of the director, comprised the story’s focal points.
We lucked into the color [scheme] along the way. The Postal Service scene was a library because the USPS was not willing to play ball with our production. The blue of the library was inherently perfect for the story we were trying to tell.For the exterior of their home, we wanted an industrial space that Miranda had had in her head for many years. I drove around L.A. with [location manager] Dave Conway for weeks, and we couldn’t find [a suitable] place.
Theresa’s style had dogmatic sensibilities. How do you get into the mind of someone not allowing their daughter to grow up? So I ordered clothes from an Amish thrift store for her.The conceptual idea that was hard to express visually was that [the family’s] clothes were already worn or stolen, and we see that when the dad steals the tie. All the costumes were meant to be promo material or stolen from Amazon shipments — hence them lurking at the post office.
In contrast, Melanie is the type who is on Instagram and interested in cheap and cheerful fashion that you’d find in the mall. Her palette was this Kardashian skin-tone palette of nudes. She’s the opposite of Old Dolio and her family. She’s comfortable with her femininity and sexuality. She wants in on their scam and ultimately, helps Old Dolio come out of her shell.”
