Lunch Films
Mar 13, 2010
(Various, 2008/2009, 100 mins)
Randy Walker in attendance!
Truly independent films are made from the gut. One day Randy Walker's bought a filmmaker friend lunch. Instead of owing him a lunch in return, he wondered why not make a film for that same money? The two made a napkin contract with “rules” to follow. Now 50 "Lunch Films" have been commissioned (this is the second group of shorts to go on tour). Like a menu, the series has a wide variety of tastes and styles, from languid, real life documents to vibrant fiction to pure art. The lesson here is it’s easy to support a filmmaker, because a little goes a long way!
