Where the Crawdads Sing – Interview With Director

A hauntingly beautiful book brought to life on the big screen, Where The Crawdads Sing is in theaters now. This book left me with a pit in my stomach and the movie did this story justice. It was beautifully shot and the storytelling was pure magic.

From the best-selling novel comes a captivating mystery. Where the Crawdads Sing tells the story of Kya, an abandoned girl who raised herself to adulthood in the dangerous marshlands of North Carolina. For years, rumors of the “Marsh Girl” haunted Barkley Cove, isolating the sharp and resilient Kya from her community. Drawn to two young men from town, Kya opens herself to a new and startling world; but when one of them is found dead, she is immediately cast by the community as the main suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict as to what actually happened becomes increasingly unclear, threatening to reveal the many secrets that lay within the marsh.
 
Where the Crawdads Sing stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (Normal People) as “Kya Clark,” Taylor John Smith (Sharp Objects) as “Tate Walker,” Harris Dickinson (The King’s Man) as “Chase Andrews,” Michael Hyatt (Snowfall) as “Mabel,” Sterling Macer, Jr. (Double Down) as “Jumpin’,” and David Strathairn (Nomadland) as “Tom Milton.” Olivia Newman (First Match) directs the screenplay by Lucy Alibar (Beasts of the Southern Wild) based upon the novel by Delia Owens. The 3000 Pictures film is being produced by Reese Witherspoon and Lauren Neustadter. Directed by the wonderful Olivia Newman. 
 
I truly loved this story and these characters. Seeing a book to screen adaptation is always nerve wracking, but this one surpassed my love for the book. It is such a great story and delivers powerful messages to its viewers. Not to judge a book by the cover, learning from mistakes, finding the courage in yourself to make your dreams a reality…to name a few. Watch my interview with the film’s Director to hear her share on the book, the movie, the hit song and more! 

Interview with Director Olivia Newman 

About The Song ” Carolina” 

“Taylor Swift writing a song for the film based on these characters was the greatest gift that we could have received,” says film producer Reese Witherspoon. “We got a call from Taylor and her team to tell us she had written a song, ‘Carolina,’ that incorporates so many of the haunting elements of the movie. I’ve gotten to talk with her a couple of times about what inspired the song and how she wrote it. Obviously, she’s a beautiful songwriter who understands so much about folk and country music, and it’s her appreciation of those genres that made the song so perfect for this film. And who doesn’t love a gorgeous, haunting Taylor Swift song?” 
 
“About a year and half ago I wrote a song about an incredible story, the story of a girl who always lived on the outside, looking in. Figuratively and literally. The juxtaposition of her loneliness and independence. Her longing and her stillness. Her curiosity and fear, all tangled up. Her persisting gentleness… and the world’s betrayal of it. I wrote this one alone in the middle of the night and then Aaron Dessner and I meticulously worked on a sound that we felt would be authentic to the moment in time when this story takes place. I made a wish that one day you would hear it. ‘Carolina’ is out now. 
 

Favorite Quotes from Where the Crawdads Sing 

People forget about the creatures that lie in shells.

If you are in trouble, go deep into the marsh where the crawdads sing.

I learned from the mistakes of the others how to live with him.

I didn’t know which way was home.

There was something about that boy that eased the tightness in my chest.

It is easier to lay blame on an outsider than it is to rely on facts.

It’s like having a friend your whole life, but you never saw their full face.

I hope when it’s time for me to leave, I’ll go quick and easy without making too much noise.

The marsh knows all about death.

Sometimes, for prey to live, its predator must die.

I am the marsh now.

I am a firefly.

That’s where you’ll always find me, way back yonder, where the crawdads sing.

WHERE THE CRAWDADS SINGS opens this Friday, July 15th in theatres nationwide.
