Go for Sisters is a 2013 American crime drama film written and directed by John Sayles.[1] The title refers to the history of friendship between the two main characters: when they were in high school, the two African American women were so close they could "go for sisters".[2] Sayles shot the film in 19 days, using 65 locations, for under a million dollars. The DVD was released in August 2014 and features a Director's Commentary in which Sayles talks at length about the art and craft of guerrilla film making.
