Dead Pigs

Dead Pigs

A 2018 ensemble drama directed by Cathy Yan, weaving together the lives of a Shanghai pig farmer, an expat architect and a young waitress. The film featured both Zazie Beetz and David Rysdahl early in their relationship, years before their 2023 wedding. Alongside Nine Days and Black Mirror, it forms the trio of screen projects the couple shared on their way from acting-workshop meeting to marriage — and, in 2026, to first-time parenthood.
