Beautiful in its rawness, Meskada feels shabby, right down to the quality of film. That’s simply one way director Josh Sternfeld (Winter Solstice, TFF ’04) draws you into the themes of poverty and struggle in his tale of two towns located in Meskada County: one rich, one very poor. The contrast between these American communities is stark: Hilliard is affluent, Caswell on the brink of destitution. After a young boy is accidentally murdered during a burglary in Hilliard, a clue leads the investigation to Detective Noah Corbin’s own hometown of Caswell, on the other side of the county.

At the time, the director said he was reading a lot about wars between the Native Americans and the first English colonists. “It was all about territory and it was about land and lines of demarcation between places,” Sternfeld said. “The more I thought about it, the more I realized that’s kind of what I could do with the genre, try to say something about place, and America.”
