A Film by John McDonald and Nina Schwanse
This is the general, default category.
Honored that CALL ME MULE has been invited to participate in This Human World, a human rights film festival in Vienna, Austria. Screening is on the evening of December 4, and director John McDonald will be attending to participate in the Q&A. The link for the program listing of our film is HERE.
John McDonald, along with the film’s editor and his daughter Nina Schwanse, create an involved and facscinating journey that call into question how America’s public land have less and less access. Call Me Mule is also about a man caring for his animals. At the same time, we watch him in triumph and defeat with arrests and incarceration while always maintaining his right to a nomadic lifestyle with his mules.
McDonald captured up close and personal stories with great camera angles and shots, allowing a visual story to unfold through Mule and those who come across him without a narrator. In addition, music by The Crooked Jades adds to the nomadic Western culture vibe that Mule represents.

Last week I attended the Almeria Western Film Festival in Tabernas, Spain. To my surprise, CALL ME MULE won the top award as the audience favorite! It was the only feature documentary, competing against six narrative features from Denmark, Chile, Kazakhstan, Australia, the United States, and Spain. All the famous “spaghetti westerns” as well as hundreds of other well-known film and television productions have been shot in Tabernas.
