DISTRIBUTION Wendy Morgan’s animal welfare docu-drama “Mercy” has been picked up by Los Angeles-based distributor All Channel Films, Inc. All Channel Films will represent the film…
in October, in the U.S. and Canada across pay and basic cable, video/DVD, VOD/SVOD, PPV and other distribution platforms.
With humans standing in for animals, “Mercy” lifts the lid on the more unpalatable side of the meat industry as told though the eyes of a pig named Mercy as she goes from a factory farm to a slaughterhouse. Maria Austin plays Mercy alongside Annette Badland , Mark Wingett and Morgan , who wrote and directed the film.
“One of my goals was to bring ‘Mercy’ to North American audiences to raise awareness about the film’s disturbing but important subject matter,” said Morgan. “All Channel Films will definitely help me in achieving this goal.
An introductory session will take place online on Jan. 20. Attendees will then be invited to apply for the program, which will provide for 16 places to undergo training and paid placements on high-end TV productions in spring 2022. Among the companies affiliated with the program are Netflix and ITV Studios, who will be providing some of the placements.. “I hope that it attracts people into the industry who haven’t known how to get in before.
Broccoli added: “We have a great need of diversity behind the camera as well as on-screen and this program is a really exciting and practical way of finding talented new hair and make-up artists to support our actors of color.”
