Living In Missouri is a Comedy Of Manners which tells the story of Ryan, Amy, and Todd, whose humdrum Midwestern lives are starting to come apart at the seams. Personal betrayals abound when childhood friendships, broken-down marriages, and long-repressed desires come into conflict over the course of one tumultuous Missouri autumn.

Ryan and Todd have been best friends since the 7th grade, and time has not been kind to either of them. Ryan is now married to Amy, with two young children and a 9-to-5 job he hates. The sexually frustrated Todd still lives in the basement of his parents' house, works in a video store, and secretly envies Ryan's married life. Meanwhile, Amy is stuck in the middle, balancing career and family with almost no help from Ryan, whose selfish behavior is quickly destroying what's left of their marriage.

When Amy secretly turns to Todd for a shoulder to cry on, the two of them begin meeting regularly to discuss her marital woes. Todd misinterprets Amy's attention for love, and believes that they are actually "having an affair," which leads to a series of painful misunderstandings, ending in disaster.

Living In Missouri is a challenging, darkly comic film, shot on location in Missouri and Kansas. Boasting a colorful cast of supporting characters, the film veers from dark humor to intense drama, at each turn authentically capturing the bizarre spirit of the Suburban Midwest.

Writing

Living In Missouri was written while Connor Ratliff was actually living in Great Britain, where he was an acting student at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.

The screenplay was developed using some unorthodox strategies: during the writing process, the main characters of Ryan, Todd, and Amy actually had “real” identities on the Internet. In early 1998, Ratliff created a website, Ryan Johnson's Star Wars Prequel Rumors, which featured journal entries from the fictional Ryan, who described his day-to-day activities and often wrote at length about his wife and best friend. The site also contained often-erroneous predictions and rumors relating to the world of science fiction movies.

The site attracted thousands of curious and often irate sci-fi fans who often took issue with “Ryan” and his renegade brand of web journalism. In a bizarre turn of events, several media outlets were fooled by the site, and many of Ryan’s rumors began to appear in print, most prominently in SPIN magazine.

Ratliff used the website as a kind of “character workshop” to help develop the characters while fleshing out the screenplay, and several key events in the film first appeared as entries in Ryan’s web journal. When the first draft of the screenplay was completed, he contacted director Shaun Peterson, whom he had been friends with since high school. Peterson put his own self-penned project, Climax, Kansas, on hold to helm Living In Missouri.

Filming

In October 1999, Peterson and Ratliff left their respective homes in L.A. and London, and met in the American Midwest to prepare for the imminent shoot. The last feature film made in Jefferson City, Missouri, was 1961’s Hoodlum Priest (directed by a young Irvin Kershner), so the creative team was dealing with a community that was not accustomed to dealing with the rigors of independent movie-making.

For five weeks, the crew remained in one small, furnished house that served as living quarters, production office, and a primary location for the movie. There were the usual problems associated with low-budget cinema—a frenzied shooting schedule, unforeseen technical glitches, sheer physical exhaustion—and a few cases of bad luck.

With several key scenes to be filmed in “Ryan and Amy’s house,” the crew returned one day to find all of the dining room furniture had suddenly disappeared. It turns out that while the filmmakers were out on location, the landlords had entered the premises to remove some of their belongings, leaving an empty space in the middle of Ryan and Amy’s living room area. Panic ensued, and the remaining scenes had to be cleverly re-imagined in order to avoid massive continuity errors.

On the whole, however, local businesses and townspeople were curious and helpful, if somewhat bewildered by the scope of the enterprise. Aside from the occasional visit from a local hoping to land a speaking role, most people remained distant and allowed filming to go on without interference.

Throughout the shoot, the weather remained consistent, if unexpectedly sunny for the middle of November. Filming wrapped in early December, just days before a storm front moved in, bringing heavy snowfall.
