Director Statement

Before you is a film created by my peers and I, whose hard work and commitment have lead to us to developing a film in which we hope both enlightens and unveils an unique side of cooking that isn’t portrayed much in film.
The film follows what it’s like to be in a kitchen in a stressful environment and as such should be looked upon and reflected on how we perceive morality and accomplishment. If there’s one thing I hope that this film leaves you with, it is to be comfortable with your successes as they come and to stand for who you are and what you believe in. The crew and I have worked really hard to bring this project to you and I couldn't be prouder.
I hope you enjoy this project and can relate to it in some way.
