Interview with Meyer Levinson-Blount of Butcher's Stain

Butcher’s Stain is the well deserved student academy award silver medalist of 2025, from emerging filmmaker Meyer Levinson-Blount who not only directs but also acts in this film. The film takes place in a Tel Aviv supermarket, post-October 7th attacks where someone has been tearing down posters of the hostages in the staff breakroom. Tension builds as the senior staff attempts to handle the delicate situation. With a creatively formulated script it cautions against racism and hate against Arabs in Israeli society. Butcher's Stain is one of five short films to be nominated for this years Best Live Action Short at the 98th Academy Awards. Listen to Pedro's discussion with Meyer about the short film.
