Nomadland: Why Chloe Zhao and Frances McDormand s story of real-life nomads is this year s Oscars front-runner I m not homeless, says Frances McDormand s character Fern, in Nomadland. I m just… houseless. Not the same thing, right?
Its double (possibly soon triple) Oscar winning star aside, the film sweeping through awards season this year features a cast of unknown faces. The heart of Nomadland is the nomads themselves, a community of itinerant van dwellers living off grid, on the periphery of society, in the American West.
There s grandmother Linda May, who dreams of settling and creating an Earthship, and Bob Wells, the 65-year-old founder of the Rubber Tramp Rendezvous, the largest gathering of nomads and van dwellers in the US. And Charlene Swankie, a 78-year-old who had been living on the road for more than a decade and had no idea at first why anyone would want to make a film about her normal life.
