Butcher B-Roll

Last fall, the day before "Concentration" was due, I was able to get permission to film the butcher of a pig.  Even though I knew It wouldn't make the final cut, I wanted the footage.  I thought, If anything, we could add the footage before it does its festival circuit.  It never did make it into "Concentration" which is why I'm so glad Lizzie and I brought it into our senior seminar.  The butcher footage is stark, shocking, and visceral; almost disturbing.  Of course, this particular shop is extremely sanitary compared to an actual slaughterhouse, but the imagery is no less powerful.
