[edit] Production
In May 2002, Academy Award-nominated American film director and screenwriter Richard Linklater announced that he would begin shooting the then unnamed film in his home city of Houston, Texas in the summer of 2002.[2] At that time, Linklater planned to assemble the cast and crew a few weeks out of every year to shoot the story over a 12-year period, reasoning that, "I've long wanted to tell the story of a parent-child relationship that follows a boy from the first through the 12th grade and ends with him going off to college. But the dilemma is that kids change so much that it is impossible to cover that much ground. And I am totally ready to adapt the story to whatever he is going through. Even if he's got acne, we'll go with that."[2] Linklater hired the then 7-year-old Ellar Salmon to play the boy as the centerpiece of the story. [1][4]
