Documentary Film: Mister Hawg: A Hash Opera
The 2024 Horry County Museum Documentary Film Series continues with Mister Hawg: A Hash Opera.
After recovering from a stroke that appeared to have ended his career, Stan Woodward recovered to complete the editing of Mister Hawg – a film that had been shot in 2003 but had never been edited. He retrieved footage from his archive before suffering the stroke in 2017. By 2018, the editing was complete. The film tells the story of two brothers who cook and sell their famous BBQ, sausage, and hash at their facility deep in the woods of Fairfield County, SC once a month and on the Fourth of July. Customers come regularly from as far away as Alabama to buy the hash and BBQ. In viewing the footage, Stan decided to introduce a score from an opera to underscore the artistry of these two brothers.
The free screening is January 17, 2024 from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
