LUNCHFILMS Shorts

Truly independent films ore mode from the gut. One day I bought a broke filmmaker friend lunch. I suggested that, instead of owing me, he make a film for the amount I spent. We mode a napkin contract with “rules” to follow Fifty Lunchfilms hove now been commissioned. Like a menu, the series has a variety of tastes and styles, from languid, real-life documents to scripted narratives to pure art. Despite budget limitations, each short shines beyond its means, thanks to creativity in front of and behind the camera. Broden King and Bobcat Goldthwait (separately) decided to make narrative experiments with the personal notion of a home movie. Sam Green pursued a burning question he hod resulting from his documentary, WEATHER UNDERGROUND. Sarah Soquel Morhoim turned the tables on voyeurism Nick McCarthy’s funny, biting love story is crisp in every way. Somehow he even managed to edit it on the Fox lot. Eat and create.
