Square for Restaurants

A restaurant story built from real conversations.

This short film for Square follows restaurant owners and teams during a difficult period for their industry. As director, creative director, cinematographer, editor and designer, I led the process from casting through final delivery.

We began without a script. The story emerged from conversations with restaurant owners and teams, with documentary filmmaking, design and stop-motion bringing their experiences together.

I filmed kitchens in action and worked with tactile processes including wood-block textures, risographs and film stocks.
