“Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets” directors wanted the vibe of a bar about to close. So they handpicked patrons, found a location and let the cameras roll.
The Ross brothers don’t have anything to hide. They want to be as transparent as possible about the way they made their new movie, “Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets.” So this is how they made it:
“That’s the premise, at least; the reality is as unreal as the world they’re escaping from,” the Sundance material reads, only hinting that the film isn’t exactly nonfiction. “We were fascinated by the boundaries they pushed in ‘Bloody Nose,’ and how they playfully confront and subvert our assumptions of what truth and reality should look like in film,” Vaughn continued. “There’s real life, real scenarios happening in ‘Bloody Nose,’ much of it in real time. It simply exists within a constructed setting. It pushes us to consider what the nonfiction sphere can look like in the most unconventional of ways.
So when they were searching for people to appear in their film, they wanted to find individuals who had real connections to watering holes. They also had to intervene when a few people got too drunk. At one point, one cast member got so intoxicated that she fell over.
