Casey Affleck and Director Mona Fastvold on Their LGBTQ-Themed Period Drama ‘The World to Come’
Feb 21 2021
With The World to Come now playing in select theaters and arriving On Demand March 2nd, I recently got to speak with director Mona Fastvold and producer/star Casey Affleck about making their LGBTQ-themed period drama. Written by Ron Hansen and Jim Shepard and based upon Shepard's story of the same name, the film takes place on a farm in upstate New York in the 1850s where Abigail (Katherine Waterston), a farmer’s wife, and her new neighbor Tallie (Vanessa Kirby) find themselves drawn to one another. The World to Come also stars Christopher Abbott as Kirby’s husband and Affleck as Waterston’s spouse.
