Lunch Film - Curated by Mike Plant, 72 mins, Video, 2007
“ By accident I started a series of
Lunch Shorts. James Fotopoulos and I were eating lunch and the place
only took cash, Fotopoulos didn’t have any. So I made him a deal:
I’ll buy the lunch and he trade me a short film for the same cost.
We made up the rules on a napkin and since then 25 lunch shorts have
been commissioned. While each film has its own rules and ideas, the
overall metaphor is a basic one: it is very easy to help a filmmaker
- buy one lunch today.” M Plant.
