谷物垃圾救援电影来到北爱荷华州电影节

在Sukup Manufacturing Co.谷物箱中拍摄的农场救援电影将在爱荷华州独立电影节上将其北爱荷华州首次亮相。6-7。

Silois the first ever feature film about a grain entrapment incident, according to producer Samuel Goldberg. Inspired by true events, he said the film chronicles a harrowing day in the American heartland. Disaster strikes when teenager Cody Rose is entrapped in a 50-foot-tall silo, also known as a grain bin. As grain turns to quicksand, family, neighbors and first responders must put aside their differences to rescue Cody from drowning in the crop that has sustained their community for generations.

The film will be shown at 7 p.m. Sept. 6 at the Lake Theatre, 4 N. Fourth St., Clear Lake, and at 5 p.m. Sept. 7 at the Mason City Community Theatre, 215 S. Delaware Ave.

Sukup Manufacturing设计并建造了42英尺直径的六环箱，去年夏天在梅森市市机场设计的Sukup Steel Buildings设计的机库。地板被修改，以达到谷物中的谷物约15'的效果。该套装还包括一个局部箱屋顶，用于上面的垃圾场。

Sukup Manufacturing also designed a 42’ diameter 12-ring bin at the main filming site on a farm in Kentucky.

The opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of farm safety is what interested Sukup family members in helping with the film, Steve Sukup, vice president and chief financial officer of the family-owned company, said in an August 2018 story about the movie.

Goldberg approached the Sukup family three years ago while scouting locations for the filming. He said the more he learned about the family, the more he wanted to work with them. “I know the Sukups are very passionate about farm safety and very loyal to the farming community.”

Main actors include Jeremy Holm, who portrays Agent Nathan Green on the Netflix series纸牌屋;Chris Ellis, who played the part of Flight Director Clark inArmageddon;Jill Paice, a regular on major Broadway productions likeAn American in Paris和Matilda;和Jim Parrack, best known for playing Hoyt Fortenberry in the HBO seriesTrue Blood.

铸件还包括许多上升的演员，如Danny Ramirez和Jack Difalco。

Emily Schmitt, general counsel of Sukup Manufacturing, said thatSilo可以“难以观看”，因为它是关于一些人声称这么多生命的事情。“但如果这部电影可以帮助拯救生命，并提高美国农村养活世界的意识，这绝对值得。”

电影节也很荣幸Silowith a nomination for “Best Feature Film.”

The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony at 7pm on Saturday Sept 7 at the Mason City Community Theater.
