Fine Dining | An Awkward First Date Meal Goes From Bad To Worse | Comedy Short Film
Fatima and Luke's date risks taking a turn for the worse when a debate over what kinds of cuisines should be considered 'fine dining' arises.
Fine Dining by Werner Vivier
wvivier.com
"The idea for the film came about when my girlfriend and I went for lunch at a small market near where I live in London. It’s a gem of a place, filled with independently owned restaurants offering food just as diverse as the local communities they serve. As we sat down, looking around the market at all the restaurants, it struck me just how instant and vast the landscape of food culture has become. Foods such as Kimchi, Okonomiyaki, Jollof Rice, Lahmacun, and Rendang, to name just a few, used to mainly be eaten by people with direct relations to the countries and cultures that invented them. But these days, the palate for them has extended so far beyond those borders.
In so many ways, I thought this was such a beautiful side effect of globalism. But then, for some reason, my mind shifted from that optimistic thought and considered the flip side… So many non-European cuisines are just as infinitely complex, if not more so, than that of their European counterparts, yet they receive little to no recognition in the echelons of fine dining. Why is this? I wanted to examine these themes of Eurocentrism and racism inherent in food culture but in a way that wasn’t didactic or felt like an overwhelming exercise in virtue signalling."

I love how this short film is entirely set in one place but the dialogue is so meaningful in building the narrative. Also god I'd hate to be in this situation. (also side note, I might be making a film myself for English ext 2 so I might also submit something soon idk)
It's a really well designed short especially given that they had to improvise on their coverage plan due to camera issues. Good luck with the project, hope we get to see it!

CINEMATOGRAPHY WOOOW
💯
Always looking forward to watching these. The fact that the settings throughout were so worn down and unnerving really added to how bad this really is for her. damn why do all these good films have to be so underrated
ok but why did i resonate to this so much (that's not good)
It's OK, we're putting that down to the filmmaking talent...

Interesting
love the choreography
and not just the actors but the cameraman too
Glad you noticed that, as Stefano says in our interview: "With every scene unfolding in a single long, dizzying take, we had to choreograph every single element of this film, including the camera movement, down to the fingernail."
joe you lucky son of an onion
Thank you for sharing. Bipolar1 here.
Thanks for watching
I demand my eleven minutes back. And an eye-wash. I have seen commercials with better writing and plot. Most of them, actually.
Then why comment you hypocrite
As an Australian, can confirm half the dads in this country follow by this exact culture.
Ah, so more of a dance film documentary then 🍻
@@DirectorsNotes not really mroe just the drinking every Friday nights
would love to see the whole film

The full film's available right here on our channel th-cam.com/video/lX70YZBDZvg/w-d-xo.html Enjoy!
The cultural connections that at have are really deep and I love how well this film shows that
It's great to see that here, now if we could just get more films exploring the rich culture.
@@DirectorsNotes that;s so true, liek lost of regional short films are so good as well it just needs translation and to reach the right people
the actor its too good,,, please make this serial movie with same actor,, gonna great rigt
That's was intense
💯
This was exquisite, imagined, conceived, written, acted; Birds sing.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts
😮😮😮
You are fucking good man
this entire movie was so well done it made me sick to my guts
It really is a powerful and affecting piece of filmmaking
the camera work and the lighting really added to the overall atmosphere. amazing film
It's a very impressive debut, we're looking forward to seeing more from Freddie
this was such a creative way to display insanity, it really used everything to a good enough extent without being extra confusing, and the ending really stuck with me. oh god that was good film
amazing as always, I love keeping up with the work you guys upload.
Thanks for being a returning viewer 🙏🏾
@DirectorsNotes I always admire the hard work people put into this and want to do something like this one day. You guys are a big inspiration
@@keranous1111 Thanks that's great to hear. As a budding filmmaker there's a lot of helpful information in our daily behind the scenes filmmaker interviews (6K+ and counting) over on directorsnotes.com
Wow 😢 poor baby. Poor mother. 😭 wtf to the abuser.
