On behalf of May Day, I’d like to share my short documentary, released today, entitled ‘Scavenger.’
Living off the grid in a northeast Thailand slum, Wichan Chaona collects recyclables from public trash bins to earn money for his family of seven. Shot from his motorcycle side cart, ‘Scavenger’ poetically weaves Wichan’s daily routine with his observations about life and work, reminding us of the universal roots of human dignity and respect.
‘Scavenger’ premiered at the 2013 Big Sky Documentary Film Festival.
THE MAN.
“When I think of the first time we met, when he called me for La dolce vita, I went to meet him in Fregene. He was at the beach under an umbrella and he said immediately, ‘The producer, De Laurentiis, would like Paul Newman for this movie, but Paul Newman is too important, too extraordinary. I need an ordinary face.’ Maybe there was a little pleasure in hurting me, I don’t know, but in any case, he didn’t hurt me at all because I never considered myself an extraordinary face or character, so everything went well.” — Marcello Mastroianni on Federico Fellini
