Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was director David S. Marfield's only feature; he pivoted to editing reality TV, which honestly tracks.
Deepwater belongs to a weird 2000s micro-genre of 'rural noir' trying to capitalize on Blood Simple's legacy with 1% of the budget and 0% of the Coen brothers' talent.
