Actor and writer Macon Blair had always planned to expand into directing at some point, but I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore began only as a vague idea for a character: a nurse who had gotten fed up with humanity and lost her ability to care. While co-producing and acting in Jeremy Saulnier’s Green Room in 2014, Blair started to talk with...
“In the span of about two weeks, we went from planning to push the movie, to full prep mode.” Blair soon found himself on a plane to Portland, where he’d shoot on location—and was grateful for the advance scouting the production team had done months prior, while they searched for financing. Though the director lives in Texas and had set the story i...
Editor Thomas Vengris began cutting in Austin while the film was still in production in Portland. Post was relatively simple, save for a startling onscreen bus accident, which Blair had shot multiple on plates that were then woven together by VFX artist Chris Connolly. Vengris, who apprenticed under Terrence Malick, had a gift for seeking out unexp...

- Music Plays A Central Role. When the Ain’t Rights take the stage at the neo-Nazi venue, they’re clearly amping up for something big. Sam (Alia Shawkat) prods her cohorts, making sure they’re still on board, before the band breaks into a rendition of the Dead Kennedys’ “Nazi Punks.”
- The Women In "Green Room" Are Amazing. If you watch the trailer, you can be forgiven for thinking that dudes are the stars of this film. And the beginning of the film seems to confirm that, focusing on the quiet, uncertain underdog, Pat (Yelchin).
- Stewart Is Terrifying. The buttery smooth cadence Stewart’s become known for as an actor is here, but it takes on a new tone in his role as Darcy, the revered, Heisenberg-esque leader of the Neo-Nazis imprisoning the band.
- It's An Oregon Film Through And Through. "Portland is the only place we could make this movie," Saulnier said, adding that it had the geographic juxtaposition of settings that makes the film work: the contrast of the stuffy, oppressive green room with the expansive wilds of the state.
