‘Casa De Carne’: My Short Film That Explores A Restaurant Where Customers Have To Kill Their Own Food
My job as a filmmaker is to raise questions and let people come to their own conclusions.
That’s why I wrote, directed, and edited the short PSA ‘Casa de Carne’ – a film about hard choices and hidden truths. It was produced by the non-profit organization Last Chance for Animals (LCA). Set in a not-so-distant and dark future, three friends must slaughter the animals they order for dinner at a high-end restaurant. It won first place at the 2019 Animal Film Festival.

I’d like this film to make people think and question their everyday reality. Now more than ever, we need stories that expand our circle of empathy and allow us to see the world through a more compassionate lens. It’s easy to use our differences as starting points for conflict: different race, different religion, different country… different species. And yet, we’re all sharing this planet. Our similarities far outweigh our differences.

Share on FacebookExactly what the world needs, yet another vegan/vegan promotor that has no clue about how an animal is slaughtered. If you want to be taken seriously, you are actually going to have to work by getting your facts straight. And yes, I can slaughter animals, I do that all of the time as I keep poultry. Everyone can, even you, you just need to be hungry enough.
Lingon, "Full Name I know several. Veggie4every1 for example". Just like there are no atheists in foxholes, I guarantee you that animal would look really tempting if Veggie4every1 was literally dying from hunger. Better yet, their child was about to starve. Not a chance they'd choose the life of an animal over their own child.

Let's not be stupid about it, and kill our food as painfully as possible, but yeah, just like wolves, and hawks, we eat meat too. Stop demonizing humanity...
We "need" meat, eh? Please explain to me why there are people who literally eat none of it yet live long, healthy lives. Be specific about how they're cheating biology and the universe.
Load More Replies...I'm not a vegan personally but I have respect for those who choose that lifestyle. I don't eat meat because I cannot digest it very well. I couldn't bring myself to kill an animal unless I was in a situation where I was going to starve to death. When you're in those circumstances you'd be surprised what you will do to live though. I come from a family who hunts also. I honestly think having the skills to survive off the land is a good thing though.
