Interview: David Robert Mitchell on The End of Oak Street, suburban unease and the childhood memories behind his dinosaur epic
['Peter Gray']
The AU Review
Remarkably, Mitchell traces the beginnings of the film back to an image as strange as it is wonderfully mundane: a dinosaur digging through suburban rubbish.
I wanted to ask about the image before the movie, because I know that you’ve said the entire film really began with a single image of a dinosaur digging through suburban rubbish.
I thought it would be cool to try and make a dinosaur film, but I wasn’t sure what the way into it was.
I think there’s something valid to that.
I think there’s value in letting things play out.
