Montana Story: Exclusive Interview with Haley Lu Richardson and Owen Teague

One of the best films at 2021’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) was the searing intimate drama, Montana Story. Both Allison and I adored this dark story, and are individually huge fans of lead actors Haley Lu Richardson and Owen Teague, so we were thrilled to chat with them! Our special guests this week answer some of our spoilery questions about their new film, including keeping it light on set, their brother/sister relationship, and… horse erections.

Montana Story tells an intimate and emotional tale of two siblings, using the gorgeous mountainous backdrop of Montana state. Cal (Teague) and Erin (Richardson) have finally returned home to the secluded family farmhouse. Their father has fallen into a coma in the aftermath of a severe stroke, so Cal is home getting his dad’s affairs in order, whilst estranged Erin just wants to see her dad one final time. When Erin learns Cal is planning to have their 25-year-old horse Mr. T put down to pasture, Erin immediately cancels her flight, and commits to taking Mr. T back home with her to New York. Of course, neither scenario is convenient for each of the siblings. They face insurmountable set-backs, while at the same time struggling to accept that their father will never awaken from his coma.

Thanks again to Haley Lu Richardson and Owen Teague for diving deep on both of their characters! Montana Story screened as part of the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. Keep an eye out for distribution details and forthcoming ways you can view this beautiful film.
