To find the value of \( f(-8) \) for the function \( f(x) = -6(1 - x) \), we need to substitute \(-8\) for \(x\).
\[ f(-8) = -6(1 - (-8)) \]
Now, simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
\[ 1 - (-8) = 1 + 8 = 9 \]
So we have:
\[ f(-8) = -6(9) \]
Now, multiply:
\[ f(-8) = -54 \]
Therefore, the value of \( f(-8) \) is \(\boxed{-54}\).
