The inspiration for Parker Phillips and Graham Phillips debut feature film THE BYGONE was born from the grim effects of the recent oil boom in North Dakota. Beyond the environmental impact of the fracking itself, the boom brought a wave of lawlessness to a region not suited to respond to the flood of tens of thousands of predominantly male workers. Along with the drugs, violence and crime, this wave brought a heightened market for the sex trade, which disproportionately targeted and exploited young Native American women – our country’s most marginalized demographic, made vulnerable by centuries of disenfranchisement, discrimination and sexual victimization. It is compelling that natural resource extraction has once again led explicitly to the disruption of indigenous peoples and their culture, a narrative that echoes the gold rush and is as old as the foundations of America itself. The film explores the tension in this relationship within the modern western landscape, following a North Dakota cowboy and a Lakota girl as they attempt to survive in a land increasingly hostile to the Old West. In shedding light on the lawless shadows of our country, we learn how we have progressed as a Nation and what has remained unchanged, exploring the contemporary status of age-old relationships: East vs. West, Land vs. Industry, Cowboy vs. Indian, and ultimately the Future vs. the Bygone. The co-directors and screenwriters Parker Phillips and Graham Phillips stop by to talk about how their compelling feature film debut weaves together stories of sexual violence, human trafficking, fracking’s impact on America’s declining middle class and the historic abuse of Native Americans.

The Bygone / Film School Radio interview with Co-directors Graham and Parker Phillips

Graham Phillips

Hold on to your hats boys and girls because this week on BEHIND THE LENS we're going from the race track of 1960's Le Mans to a modern-day Western thanks to GRAHAM PHILLIPS and PARKER PHILLIPS, and our exclusive interview with PHEDON PAPAMICHAEL.First up, take a listen to our prerecorded exclusive interview with Oscar-nominated cinematographer PHEDON PAPAMICHAEL as he puts the pedal to the metal with FORD V FERRARI.  Focusing on the friendship between legendary automotive designer Carroll Shelby and British race car driver Ken Miles, the film is set against the backdrop of the battle between automotive titans Henry Ford Jr. and Enzo Ferrari as Ford readied itself to compete against Ferrari's award-winning racing team at Le Mans in 1966.  Key to the high octane success of the film is Phedon's work as he puts the moviegoer in the driver's seat of the race car, making us feel the car corner on rails or catch the sun flares rounding critical course turns.  And then we shift gears as we welcome GRAHAM PHILLIPS, "Prince Eric" himself from Disney"s "Little Mermaid Live!" tv special, and his brother PARKER PHILLIPS to talk about their new feature collaboration THE BYGONE.  Co-written and co-directed by the brothers with Graham also starring in the film, THE BYGONE is an ode to the old westerns but more truthful in fact and events.  Listen as we discuss the similarities of the oil pipelines and fracking occurring in North Dakota today with the Gold Rush of old while exploring the fate of Native Americans both then and now with the fate of the "Cowboys and Indians" tied together. With this serving as a backdrop to the film, with this story Parker and Graham explore the lawlessness that comes with the territory of greed and how it turns brother on brother and opens the door to the sex trade in the remote oil regions.  http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com
