How QueenAndSlim production designer Karen Murphy mapped out the duo's route
to bring the real world to the screen. While filming a current-day script mostly on location might seem fairly straightforward, production crews know that’s never the case.
Determining a route informed the design process. Two gas stations along the way serve as prime examples. The first, on the outskirts of a big town, “is jammed with product and distraction,” says Murphy. By contrast, the next is in a farming community. “It was meant to feel a bit slower and like they were quite out of place in that spot. It’s quite sparse, the colors are really muted, and it’s a little bit like from another era.
“I got to talk to a lot of the folks and hear a lot of their stories,” says Murphy. “Some of them were musicians and they would give me ideas. It was actually a really great way to embrace the community.” Locations can be great, but the spaces don’t “offer us anything decoratively,” says Murphy. “We brought that.”
