A story of insatiable hunger.
We spoke with Director & Writer John Francis Hebert about his directorial debut.
A complete listing of the cast and crew, and further information on the film can be found below.
John:
From everyday references with friends to important times in my life, there was always a show or film I was watching to go along with it. But really, seeing family laugh and enjoy my work is all that really matters.
John:
My lack of knowledge in the technical aspects as this was my first time filming, editing, and color grading.
John:
This movie is based on an actual moment that happened to me, but I'm playing a mix of my mother and brother. I'd gotten to a point in my life where it felt like I was stalling creatively, so I thought to myself - I need to stop waiting for someone to give me permission to create. When the pandemic hit and I had nothing but time, I gave myself the permission I needed.
John:
I play opposite my nephew. The only kid nearby during the height of the shutdown. ...There will be more to come, but I haven't yet cast future roles.
John:
Good films show all characters (down to the very minor ones) having strong points of view, show each frame as a portrait and don't waste a single moment. Add that up with a universally relatable story and you have a good film!
John:
How people treat each other. There will always be a totem pole, but the people at the top should remember where they started and respect those who are working their way up.
John:
Just start! I know it sounds simple and trite, but it's the truth. Get on set, see how things are done and observe the mechanics. Mimic others and watch as your voice develops.
