How Kate Mara and Famous Pals Inspired a Filmmaker to Finish His Documentary About a Battle Against Big Pork
两年前，凯特·玛拉（Kate Mara）看着“金钱的气味”粗略地削减了一部关于艾尔西·鲱鱼（Elsie Herring）数十年来的纪录片，以阻止数十亿美元的企业养猪场，从将动物浪费喷在北卡罗来纳州的土地上 - 并签署与David Lowery一起成为执行制片人。由肖恩·班农（Shawn Bannon）执导的“金钱的气味”不仅检查了猪浪费如何以及为什么要杀死无辜的人，还研究了环境种族主义，企业渎职和全球变暖。该文档跟随鲱鱼和其他居民在与史密斯菲尔德食品（Smithfield Foods）进行九年的法律斗争时，他们的设施每天为成千上万的猪处理，使该公司成为北美最大的猪肉生产商。 3月的节日，该医生将于4月30日在加拿大的热门文档电影节上进行国际首映。玛拉和班农谈到了为什么他们想赚钱，包括艾略特·佩奇（Elliot Page）在内的备受瞩目的支持者在鲱鱼去世后制作电影，以及他们希望它的影响力是什么。我不能停止思考。这是一件令人难以忘怀的事情。我也对人民（文档）和他们的故事感到巨大的责任。我想与肖恩合作，找到一种方法来将他们的故事传播出去，因为我们希望为他们伸张正义。这是您制作的第一部纪录片？Mara：是的。这是一次非常有趣的经历。我肯定会学到很多东西。还是她总是在船上？几乎不可能说服她这样做，因为她是如此私密。但是她也对这个问题充满热情。它花了一些时间来获得她的信任和社区的信任。我们必须非常尊重人们的时间。这是具有挑战性的，因为我从不想给Elsie带来不便，Elsie是一个经历了九年诉讼并与（猪）行业作斗争30年的人。我开始质疑自己一直在做什么。但是最终，我们最终真正建立了联系。猪农夫，汤姆·巴特勒（Tom Butler）是文档中的关键人物。他阐明了工厂农业，但仍然是该行业的一部分。他为什么要参加文档？班农：汤姆就是要讲真话。他不喜欢那大公司在撒谎。他觉得他们应该说自己在做什么并为此做些事情。提出解决方案。汤姆试图做事，并承认他的农场影响了邻居。但是我认为他真的相信改变了美国的食物的饲养方式。当原告雷内·米勒（Rene Miller）说，即使她赢得了针对史密斯菲尔德食品的诉讼，她也不会动弹时感到惊讶？我们决定不在电影中提供更多有关此信息的信息，因为它可能需要这么多时间，但这就像，她为什么要搬家？自内战以来，她和她的家人一直在这片土地上生活，然后一家大公司搬进来，她必须搬家。这没有任何意义。他们为什么不能清理她？那是一个原因。但是，这些地区的大多数人都没有搬家的资源。您在83分钟内涵盖了很多主题。您在编辑中的方法是什么？玛拉：肖恩（Shawn）在过去几年中给我发送了一系列电影的不同编辑，但是我们俩都认为这对电影有用的一件事就是向人们展示我们确实尊重和信任电影制片人，制片人或演员。因此，我给了自己的个人笔记，但后来我们还研究了我们真正欣赏的人对此不得不说的。在过去的几年中，这就是我们的过程。感谢Elowo，Joaquin Phoenix，您的姐姐Rooney Mara，Werner Herzog和Elliot Page。他们是有些人为您看粗糙的人吗？Mara：是的。我们选择特定的人看它。我们不只是把它交给任何人。例如，Elliot页面指示了一部纪录片。班农（Bannon）只是听到他们对这部电影的反应真的很有帮助。我无法拍电影。但是，将其发送给那些人并得到笔记确实是有动力的。没有他们，我们就无法拍这部电影。到目前为止，您将这部电影带到了两个节日。您的分销计划是什么？Mara：我们的目标是让尽可能多的人看到它。Bannon：我们希望在热门文档或之后开始与发行人交谈。但是就像凯特所说的那样，我们希望找到这部电影的最大观众。我们将利用我们可以将这部电影吸引到观众的所有资源和所有连接。您希望这部电影发行后发生？班农（Bannon）：让艾尔西（Elsie）和或雷内（Rene）的故事供人们听到，对我来说很重要。为了激励这种变化，并让人们意识到，我们在体内投入的食物正在影响世界各地的社区中的人们 - 不仅在北卡罗来纳州 - 会很棒。玛拉：很难回答，因为有这样的问题许多需要改变的事情。我们必须对我们的目标是什么以及我们对这部纪录片的希望以及对我们的星球的一般希望有一个开放的想法。Bannon：我们需要结束工厂农业。，“哦，这是一部素食主义者的电影”，不是。这是关于人类行动主义的。
Two years ago, Kate Mara watched a rough cut of “The Smell of Money” – a documentary about Elsie Herring's decades-long fight to stop a multibillion-dollar corporate hog farm from spraying animal waste on her family's land in North Carolina – and signed on to become an executive producer alongside David Lowery. Directed by Shawn Bannon, “The Smell of Money” examines not only how and why hog waste is killing innocent people, but also environmental racism, corporate malfeasance and global warming. The docu follows Herring and other residents as they wade through a nine-year legal battle against Smithfield Foods, whose facilities process tens of thousands of pigs per day, making the company the largest producer of pork in North America.
After debuting at the Sarasota Film Festival in March, the doc is making its international premiere at Canada’s Hot Docs film festival on April 30. Mara and Bannon spoke to Variety about why they wanted to make “The Smell of Money,” the role of high-profile supporters including Elliot Page in getting the film made after Herring's death, and what they hope its impact will be.
Kate, why did you decide to sign on as executive producer of this docu?
Mara: After watching the film, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It’s a very haunting thing to learn about. I also felt this immense responsibility to the people (in the doc) and to their story. I wanted to work with Shawn to find a way to get their story out there because we want justice for them.
Is this the first documentary that you have produced?
Mara: Yes. It’s been a really interesting experience. I'm definitely learning a lot as we go along.
Shawn, was it difficult to convince Elsie, who died last year, to be the main subject of the doc? Or was she always on board?
It was almost impossible to convince her to do it because she was so private. But she was also so passionate about this issue. It took time to gain her trust and the community’s trust. We had to be very respectful of people’s time. It was challenging because I never wanted to inconvenience Elsie – a person who was going through a lawsuit for nine years and had been fighting the (pig) industry for 30 years. I began to question what I was doing all the time. But ultimately, we ended up really connecting.
Current hog farmer, Tom Butler is a key character in the doc. He sheds light on factory farming but is still part of that industry. Why did he want to participate in the doc?
Bannon: Tom is all about telling the truth. He doesn't like that big corporations are lying about stuff. He feels like they should say what they are doing and do something about it. Come up with the solution. Tom has tried to do things and has admitted that his farms have impacted neighbors. But I think he really believes in changing the way food is raised in America.
Were you surprised when Rene Miller, a plaintiff, said that she wouldn’t move even if she wins the lawsuit against Smithfield Foods?
We decided to not put more information about that in the film because it could take up so much time, but it's like, why should she have to move? She and her family have lived on this land since the Civil War and then a huge corporation moves in, and she has to move. It doesn't make any sense. Why can't they clean up with her doing? That's one reason. But also, most of these people in these areas do not have the resources to move.
You cover a lot of topics in 83 minutes. What was your approach in the edit?
Mara: Shawn sent me a bunch of different edits of the film over the last couple years, but one of the things that we both thought would be useful to the movie would be to show it to people that we really respect and trust as either filmmakers, producers, or actors. So, I gave my own personal notes, but then we also looked at what people that we really admire had to say about it. That was what the process has been for us over the last couple years.
In the credits Jessica and David Oyelowo, Joaquin Phoenix, your sister Rooney Mara, Werner Herzog and Elliot Page are thanked. Are they some of the people who watched rough cuts for you?
Mara: Yes. We chose specific people to watch it. We didn’t just give it to anybody. Elliot Page, for example, directed a documentary. Just hearing how they all reacted to the film was really helpful.
Bannon: After Elsie died, I was in a catatonic state. I could not work on the movie. But sending it out to those people and getting their notes was really motivating. We couldn't have made this film without them.
You have taken the film to two festivals so far. What are your distribution plans?
Mara: Our goal is to have it seen by as many people as humanly possible.
Bannon: We are hoping to start talking to distributors during or after Hot Docs. But like Kate said, we want to find the biggest audience we can for this movie. We will use every resource and every connection that we can to get this film out there to audiences.
What do you hope happens after this film is released?
Bannon: Getting Elsie and or Rene's story out there for people to hear is so important to me. To motivate change from that and to have people realize that the food we are putting in our bodies is impacting people in communities all over the world – not just in North Carolina – would be amazing.
Mara: It’s hard question to answer because there are so many things that need to change. We have to have an open mind about what our goals are and what our hopes are for this documentary and just in general for our planet.
Bannon: We need to end factory farming.
Mara: But when you say that a lot of people automatically go, ‘Oh it's a vegan activism film,’ and it's not. This is about human activism.
