This 10 minute short is nearly perfect film-making. It should be mandatory viewing in film classes everywhere.
"The Lunch Date" tells a complete and complex story, makes you feel keenly for the two central characters, has complications, twists, reversals and a wonderful resolution. It never strays from context and reality and is utterly accessible.
And it's all done with virtually no dialog.
I would love to be able to own and look at this film from time to time when I'm trying to convince myself -- against all available evidence -- that really GOOD movies can be made small and simply.
I hope that "The Lunch Date" will be made available in either DVD or video cassette very soon.
