Comfort Film Presents

Cash Cow

a Documentary by
Matt Barats

In the Fall of 2020, a financially struggling actor camps and explores early Mormon historical sites as he anxiously awaits national broadcast for his Domino’s Pizza commercial.

Self-funded and shot alone over 30 days during the COVID pandemic, the Slamdance 2023 low budget comedy blends documentary and narrative, resulting in a deadpan comedy through one man's lens.

**Cash Cow premiered at the 2023 Slamdance Film Festival**
(past screenings include Roxy Cinema NYC, BrainDead Studios LA, Deeper Into Movies London, and a performance with live score & live narration)

Written & Directed & Shot by: Matt Barats
Edited by: Whit Conway

Matt Barats is a hilarious comedian, a dynamic actor, a thoughtful writer, and a curious filmmaker.
