Production

In 2015, while on production of American Honey, Riley Keough befriended two extras, Franklin Sioux Bob and Bill Reddy, while filming in South Dakota and later introduced them to her best friend Gina Gammell.[2] Over the course of several years, the project began to take shape, through writing workshops, improvisation sessions, and meeting hundreds of locals in the community, to make the story authentic.[3][4] The group began discussing an idea for a film revolving around two indigenous locals growing up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.[5] They began writing the script based upon Bob and Reddy's life experiences and stories they had heard, ending up with too much material, and decided to split the story between two characters, and collaborated with local producer Willi White.[6]

Release

The film had its world premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2022, in the Un Certain Regard section.[7] It won the Caméra d'Or award for Best First Feature.[8]
