	Movie Habit: Interview with David Gordon Green and Paul Schneider
		David Gordon Green and Paul Schneider have been friends and collaborators since their film-student days in North Carolina.
		DGG: The whole idea of making the movie is to try make a movie that felt more realistic about young relationships and young emotions and heartbreak and loss and friendships and love and family — all these issues that are enormous.
		DGG: Yeah, I heard it was out there and I just gave them a call and said “you don’t have a director, I heard.” And they said “no we don’t.” So I said “okay now you do.” I wouldn’t say I sold myself but I expressed my interest.

	The Movie Chicks - Interview - David Gordon Green
		David: Joe Conway got the story from a runaway hotline where a young kid had called in and given some really horrific accounts of what is going on in his life, but it was also very fabricated.
		David: No, never don't it before; got him a dialect coach while he was over there, then just brought him out to Savannah, Georgia, where we filmed it, as early as we could.
		David: The only thing that was scripted was Jamie's dialog because he had to rehearse; he had to know what he was saying.

		David Gordon Green: It was based on a short film I made in film school, which was just a "George and his dog" story.
		DGG: My cinematographer, Tim Orr, and my art director, Richard Wright, and I got together and were walking through this place and finding these amazing little elements of rust and dilapidation.

	David Gordon Green - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David Gordon Green (born April 9, 1975) is an American filmmaker.
		Green's dialogue often has an obtuse, semi-poetic quality, reminiscent of Faulkner's writing.
		Green has suggested that no other director has used voice over narration so well, citing Malick's classic 1978 film Days of Heaven as the principal source of inspiration for Undertow.

	DVD RE-RUN INTERVIEW: David Gordon Green Talks About "Undertow," His "Southern Tall Tale"
		David Gordon Green's first two films, "George Washington" and "All the Real Girls" were the opposite of action films; they were quiet, poetic ruminations on small-town stories.
		David Gordon Green: I think I brought a lot of the technique in creating atmosphere that I liked from the first two movies, and I brought it to a more aggressive narrative approach to filmmaking.
		David Gordon Green is the best director of my generation!(I'm 28)Anybody who has grown up in a smaller shitkicking town and lived to tell the tale, with more than a little personal agency, can attest to the authenticity of his portrayals of the ambiguity of ugliness and beauty in these spaces.

	Amazon.ca: Undertow (2004): DVD: David Gordon Green,Shiri Appleby,Bill McKinney,Dermot Mulroney,Josh Lucas,Pat ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the hot, green Georgia countryside, a man (Dermot Mulroney) lives with his two sons on a farm; their existence is shattered by the arrival of the man's Faulknerian brother (Josh Lucas), a dangerous sort with an ulterior motive.
		Green is at his best when noticing some stray detail (the younger brother likes to arrange his books according to smell), not when connecting the dots of story.
		David Gordon Green's Undertow opens with a bang -- a rollicking, psychedelic action credit sequence, complete with split screens, negative images, zooms, and freeze-frames, that could have come out of a 1970s action B-movie like Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry.

	Reel.com: David Gordon Green
		DGG: For me, really, movies kicked into gear in the late '60s with films like Medium Cool and The Graduate, when they started stepping away from the theatrics of it all and the exaggerations and animations of acting and they could deal with more of a natural, believable, surprising character.
		The style of filmmaking started taking chances by showing things like lens flares and zooms, and imperfections in camerawork that just ended up being beautiful, to me. In '80, films like The Shining, Ordinary People, and Kramer vs. Kramer kind of close the lid on it — those movies are great.
		DGG: Well, I don't want to stay outside of the industry, because I want to grow in terms of my options in what I can make.

	Amazon.ca: All The Real Girls: DVD: David Gordon Green,Patricia Clarkson,Benjamin Mouton,Maurice Compte,Zooey ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		All the Real Girls is writer/director David Gordon Green's achingly romantic follow-up to his acclaimed George Washington, and, shot in the same elliptically poetic style, it confirms Green's status as an American original -- a distinctive chronicler of Southern small town life.
		The quiet power of Green's film is greatly abetted by the performances of Paul Schneider as Paul, the callow ladies' man who meets a girl who awakens him to his own hidden depths, and especially the luminous Zooey Deschanel as Noel, the romantic novice whose seeming clarity of purpose masks a morass of confusion.
		The extras are good also, the writer and director David Gordon Green is a revelation, full of insight and intellectual depth about what he wanted to achieve, it makes you feel contented that there is a guy out there who is prepared to challenge film-making assumptions.

	Filmmaker Magazine \| Fall 2004: SOUTHERN DISCOMFORT
		Green is currently writing a script for Sydney Pollock while working on his new home in New Orleans — where he recently hunkered down for the hurricane instead of evacuating so that he could experience the extreme weather.
		Green: And yet it really is just this timeless place that we found — it’s just its own little time capsule that was great for us because we could artistically jump into the movie.
		Green: Outside of the financial and egotistical nuisance of the project there was a wonderful creative team that really wanted to make the movie the right way.

	David Gordon Green
		In the midst of all of this, David called Andy Gillis, who you may remember as one of the folks who did some of the most gorgeous music in “George Washington” and also directed “Security, Colorado” (the Dogme95 film starring Paul Schneider, which recently was on the Sundance Channel.
		David of course said something along the lines of, “I hope they didn’t really say that,” implying that it could be doomed with such a comment.
		David said he wanted to direct it, and he said he went in, pitched it so basically they couldn’t deny him the director job, and about a week later they said: “Sorry, we’re giving it to Dennis Dugan who did Benchwarmers.” Gotta love Hollywood.

		DGG: We got paid enough that we didn't have to sweat it, and they were creatively supportive of every avenue that we wanted to do.
		DGG: When Sony came onboard, and Jean Doumanian, the producer, they were like, "What's the value of this movie?" Either we make it for more money and have stars, or we have less money but more creative freedom in casting and editing.

	The Believer - Interview with David Gordon Green
		Green set his coming-of-age story, which featured a cast of young nonactors he’d met in churches and at YMCA casting calls, against the wooded backstreets and abandoned industrial sites of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
		DGG: Except that they do that for the novelty of making rules, whereas we had to come up with a practical set of rules we could use to make a movie.
		DGG: Stewart O’Nan wrote a novel that I would assume is very—if not autobiographical, then very personal to him in the way he relates to the town and to his friends, his parents, everything.

	Film \| 'If I ever do anything clever, shoot me'
		But this, it appears, is David Gordon Green, the 26-year-old whose movie George Washington has been hailed as the most impressive and important debut in years.
		If anyone was destined to direct, it's Green, growing up in Arkansas with a camera in one hand and a cinema ticket in the other.
		As you listen to Green discussing his future projects - a sci-fi flick in the vein of Tarkovsky, perhaps a tale of heroin use in the old west - you can't help but think that, maybe, this particular hype could be worth believing.

	David Gordon Green's "All the Real Girls"; The Magic and Madness of Young Lovers
		Green's nameless tiny North Carolina mill town is a similar lost planet to the one depicted in his first feature, "George Washington," yet his splintered narrative is a step forward.
		Not that I know Green or his intentions, but from what I have read and felt while watching this film is that he really doesn't give a shit about anything beyond capturing and projecting emotional honesty.
		Unfortunately, some experts are hailing David Gordon Green, as a “highly talented, up-and-comer.” They marvel at the “individual style” created by a person only 27 years old.

		That Green has yet to crest his 30th year on the planet further attests to the oldness of his aura.
		GREEN: Yeah, they had to pull it out of my foot and then I had to get shots and sh@t, which was not fun.

	David Gordon Green's 'Undertow' reviewed on the official website of Laura Hird
		bearded with moss and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight,
		Although it appears to be set in the present, it feels timeless — barefoot boys and ramshackle houses — it could be the 1940s or the 1840s, or in parts of the neglected south, 2004.
		David Gordon has created a beautiful film in which these elements appear alongside a sense of myth, suggested in the references to the River Styx as a version of the afterlife.

	SPLICEDwire \| "Undertow" movie review (2004) "Undertow" review, David Gordon Green, Jamie Bell, Devon Alan
		If I were to choose the single greatest American directorial debut of the last ten years, David Gordon Green's "George Washington" would be very near the top of the list.
		Green's second film, "All the Real Girls," included many of the same disconnected moments, but they were now spattered into a story about a womanizer who falls in love for the first time.
		Green once revealed to me in an interview that he enjoys these kinds of odd crossovers, but in this case a smart film turns into a dumb one.

		Green is white (if you see what I mean) and he grew up in Texas, whereas the kids in George Washington are fl and live in North Carolina, where the director went to film school (the North Carolina School of the Arts).
		Green chose the NCSA partly because of where it was in Winston-Salem, far from the traditional film-making environment.
		For all his rural horizons, Green ain't no country boy, as the way he funded George Washington shows.

	PopMatters Film Interview \| David Gordon Green and Paul Schneider - All the Real Girls
		It's the story of troubled, ordinary young love, with Zooey Deschanel and Schneider as the couple, again living in rural North Carolina, more or less (as Green observes, the exact historical moment and location for the film are never named, as he seeks a kind of "timelessness" in his work).
		Schneider and Green's working relationship is completely tangled up in their friendship, at once earnest and relaxed: they seem to share thoughts while speaking, stepping all over each other's sentences, appreciating and goading each other's humor, often.
		David was saying that after George Washington was made, Stuart Dryburgh called him.

		This film tells the story of the life of a teenager with his old baby sitter, her estranged husband and their daughter.
		His intensity never let up, I have met directors that are very smart and analytical in their approach, and I have met directors that just have a great instinct for film.

	Rotten Tomatoes Forums - David Gordon Green's UNDERTOW surfaces at the 42nd New York Film Festival in October!
		That said, budding director David Gordon Green ("Washington Heights") decides to explore a new genre and as a first-timer provides a wide palette of melodrama that ranges from over-the-top to non-existent.
		UNDERTOW retains the dreamlike lyricism and empathy with adolescents that were among the hallmarks of "George Washington," David Gordon Green’s accomplished debut (NYFF 2000).
		The "green paint" tasted by young Tim is actually yogurt; the 'mud' he eats is brownie mix.
