- The story of the film was inspired by director Martin MacDonald. When he was traveling on the border of Florida, Georgia and Alabama, he found that someone had erected an unsolved billboard for a criminal case. Martin Macdonald appeared in front of him. The image of the mother, the story is ready to come out.
- Actress Francis McDomond said that one of the most unusual sources of inspiration for her role was John Wayne.
- In the beginning, the heroine Francis McDomond felt that she was too old. It is hard to imagine a 58-year-old woman from Central America who was only 20 years old because the people there got married very early. Fortunately, her husband Joel Cohen encouraged her. She went to play.
- When director Martin Macdonald wrote the script, he thought the heroine was played by Francis McDomond.

The text is a carefully calculated high-end product. What I appreciate more is that under the absurd division of black, it maintains the unity of warm colors, angrily complains of the divided, cruel, and violent social status quo, but it can bridge the reality in the subtle social sentiment. The most obvious thing about the division of the situation is that there is no sense of contradiction between the two. This is the United States.

Mildred Hayes: [walking into his office] You Red Welby?
Red Welby: Yes, ma'am. How may I help you?
Mildred Hayes: I heard there's three billboards out on Drinkwater Road. You're in charge of renting them out, that right?
Red Welby: I didn't know we had any billboards out on Drinkwater. Where is Drinkwater Road?
Mildred Hayes: It's a road out past the Sizemore turn-off. Nobody uses it since the freeway got put in.
Red Welby: You are right. Got three billboards out there. Nobody's put nothing up out there since 1986. That was 'Huggies'.
Mildred Hayes: How much to rent out all three of 'em the year?
Red Welby: A year? You wanna pay for three billboards on a road no-one goes down unless they got lost or they're retards, for a year?
Mildred Hayes: Quick, ain't ya, Welby?
Red Welby: Well, since what I say goes these days down at the Ebbing Advertising Desk, I'm gonna strike you a real good deal on those billboards. Now, what was it you said your name was, Mrs?
Mildred Hayes: What's the law on what you can and cannot say on a billboard? I assume it's ya can't say nothing defamatory, and ya can't say, 'Fuck' 'Piss' or 'Cunt'. That right?
Red Welby: Uh... Or... anus.
Mildred Hayes: Well, I think I'll be alright then. Here's 5,000 for the first month.
