Director Braden King and cinematographer Declan Quinn, ASC on The Evening Hour

In the film The Evening Hour, director Braden King wanted to
immerse the viewer in a fully formed world, with spare dialog and
little exposition. This approach appealed to cinematographer Declan
Quinn, ASC. With such little dialog, Declan paid close attention to
finding the right camera placement, how each scene was composed and
how the images told the story, with natural and motivated lighting.
The Evening Hour tells the story of Cole Freeman, a health aid at a
nursing home who lives in a fictional rural West Virginia town. He
makes a little extra money on the side selling his client's
prescription medication, until an old friend comes back to the
Appalachian town and tries to convince Cole to get further involved
in the drug trade. The film was shot entirely on location in
Kentucky. Braden specifically wanted to shoot in autumn in order to
capture the beauty of that time of year and show in images the
collapse of these rural towns due to the opioid epidemic and the
risk of environmental destruction by mining companies. Declan
enjoyed actually shooting on location in the real Appalachia,
instead of having to fake it on a soundstage or in a different
area. He was able to freely capture everything in the environment,
letting the art of cinematography work its magic in the film. The
Evening Hour is screening in limited release in New York at the IFC
Center and Los Angeles at the Laemmle Monica on August 6th.
