Costume design has the power of bringing real, everyday characters from page to picture. Costume designer Karen Muller Serreau was given an interesting challenge when she took on costuming the new film, Stillwater, where she brought Bill Baker’s (played by Matt Damon) oil-rig worker, Midwest Americana image to life.
Stillwater is a powerful and moving film that follows a father and daughter from the small town of Stillwater, Oklahoma to the posh streets of Marseille, France. With his estranged daughter (played by Abigail Breslin) imprisoned in Marseille for a murder she insists she did not commit, unemployed oil-rig worker Bill Baker makes periodic visits overseas to try and prove his daughter’s innocence.
