Chances are, you haven’t seen Rachel Mason’s debut film, The Lives of Hamilton Fish, a surreal, arty musical about two men—one a politician, the other a cannibal—who died on the same day in 1936. I…

came on board as executive producer, and she was amazed to see the film’s profile rise dramatically.

“I actually didn’t realize how big of an impact having Ryan Murphy attached would be,” she laughs. “But his support of the film was, right out of the box, a game-changer. When we showed up at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, we went from being the underdog film that nobody really looked at to the film that people were talking about. Almost every one of our screenings was sold out. And it’s been like that all over the world.

DEADLINE: Under the Trump administration, America seemed to become more oppressive and uptight again. Did that have any influence on the film, and were you aware of that when you were making it?: Well, no. I mean, first off, it’s a weird contradiction, the Trump administration being so tied in with the conservative Christian right-wing, because Donald Trump, when he showed up, was a notorious party boy. If anyone could be tied to porn, straight porn, it’s this guy.
