The Making of Sundance Winner Winter’s Bone
The making of Winter’s Bone, winner of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival’s grand jury prize for drama, will be discussed during a program Sunday, May 16 at 2:00 p.m. at the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale . Based on a novel by Daniel Woodrell, Winter’s Bone is the story of a poor teenager (played by Jennifer Lawrence) who searches for her missing, meth-making father in the wooded Missouri Ozarks. The cast ofWinter’s Bone includes Fayetteville native Lauren Sweetser along with several actors from the Ozarks.
Director Debra Granik, Sweetser, and others will discuss the film, and a number of the film’s musicians and singers will perform, including singers Marideth Sisco and Linda Stoffel, bass player Tedi May, fiddler Billy Ward, guitar player Dennis Crider, banjo player Van Colbert, and mandolin player Bo Brown.
“The film’s production company first learned of the Shiloh Museum through its podcast series,” said Allyn Lord, museum director. “Executive producer Jonathan Scheuer discovered the on-line podcasts when he was doing research for the film, which was shot last winter in Christian and Taney counties, Missouri . Several of the film’s non-Ozark-native cast members found some of the museum’s podcasts helpful in their voice preparation,” Lord continued.

Funeral Customs of the Ozarks
“Gone to the Grave,” a program on funeral customs of the Ozarks from 1850 to 1950, will be presented by independent researcher and author Abby Burnett Wednesday, May 19 at noon at the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History in Springdale . Burnett was recently featured in Silent Storytellers, a documentary produced by the Arkansas Educational Television Network about the history and culture of Arkansas cemeteries.
“While I’m interested in documenting the early days of the professional undertaker, the main focus of my research has been to study all of the ways in which people once helped one another when there was a death,” explained Burnett. “My talk will cover the role of the community in nursing the sick, laying out the body, building the casket, sitting up with the body, digging the grave and holding the burial,” Burnett said.
The Shiloh Museum is located at the corner of Johnson and Main in downtown Springdale . For more information, call 750-8165.
