“Cash Cow” will have its premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival.
Filmmaker Matt Barats visits the Nauvoo Illinois Temple in his documentary "Cash Cow," which is scheduled to premiere at the 2023 Slamdance Film Festival.Matt Barats was a struggling actor, waiting for a payout from a pizza commercial — a commercial that was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It plays like a comedic essay, personal documentary and d.i.y. diary film,” Barats said in a recent interview. “I wanted it to feel sort of like a PBS field correspondent was left alone to make something and was slowly unraveling.” Barats grew up in Idaho, so he grew up around the Latter-day Saint faith, he said. But it wasn’t until he went to college in Chicago that he read a book about the “Mormon wars of Illinois.”
“That city is the most incredible place, it’s still preserved in so much interesting stuff that happened there,” he explains. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Barats said, he saw people experiencing “this kind of creative desperation,” which led to “a lot of cheap internet content happening.”
