Clint Bentley first read Denis Johnson’s Train Dreams when he was in college. After that, the filmmaker says, he “devoured pretty much everything else he had written.” But Bentley couldn’t have anticipated that, years later, he’d be adapting the novella with his longtime creative partner Greg Kwedar, and heading up to write and eventually film in the same remote woods where Johnson once lived, and where the character Robert Grainier spends his life of simple wonders.
Johnson’s novella, which was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction after its release in 2011, tells the story of Robert, a logger and railroad worker in the Pacific Northwest during the early 20th century.
