“Nutcrackers follows strait-laced and work-obsessed Mike as he is suddenly thrust into being a caregiver for his rambunctious, orphaned nephews,” says the synopsis. Tyler Treese: Ben, all four of these kids are powerhouses and have such great energy that really makes the movie feel alive. You film this on their actual farm. It just feels like there’s so much truth to this movie and there’s indie roots and vibe to it. So, how exciting was it to get on this project because of that?Yeah, that was why I wanted to do it. Everything you’re saying, it was coming from an organic place. David Gordon Green, this guy loves making movies. I’ve known him for years.
That’s what you’re looking for in a filmmaker. Somebody who’s passionate and who you think is talented. It was really everything I would’ve hoped for. Jumping in into their world and getting to know these people and their families, and it’s such a feeling of family in the movie, too, because we were in their home, and the filmmaking team was a family, and David kind of creates that energy around. So, it was a blast.It does, right? Yeah.
Arlo, they filmed on your actual family farm and your actual animals got to be in it. How was that experience of going from your regular life one day to this big film being shot there?: Well, half of the people were our friends in two minutes, and it was smooth sailing the time we were there, so it was really fun.: Yeah. I feel like these guys are so warm and welcoming.
