Blood of the Hog - March 11th at 8:00pm

Conversations at the Art Mission is proud to announce an evening with Nat Bouman on March 11th at 8:00pm as he screens his film, Blood of the Hog.

"Blood of the Hog" is a dark comedy starring the musician Al Duvall as a fictional version of himself. He plays a down-and-out entertainer who owes money to a bookie/postal worker, loses his fiance, nearly gets shot by a pair of Ukrainian hit men, and comes into a pile of cash; all in one movie! It's a comedic, thrilling and tragic romp in the spirit of Truffaut's "Shoot the Piano Player."

Nat Bouman has worked on film productions for Maysles Shorts, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Hungry Man Productions. His director of photography credits include Peace One Day, a feature documentary produced for the BBC, as well as several Columbia University graduate student films. His most recent DP credit is for Hold Up, winner of the Audience Award for the 2006 New Festival and official selection for the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and Palm Springs Film Festival. As a director, he has made several short fiction films and documentaries, including; Come Home, From the Coop, and Trap.
Currently, Nat is completing an MFA in film production from Columbia University, where he has earned several merit scholarships. When he is not on set or working on a screenplay, Nat can be found chopping wood, distilling apply brandy or keeping woodchucks away from his tomatoes.

Conversations at the Art Mission would like to thank the Experimental Television Center for its generous support.
