Inspired by a ‘weird blend of raunchy Asian food comedies like God of Cookery, Tampopo, Food Wars, Extreme Job and crime thrillers like Pusher and Uncut Gems,’ Sydney-based co-directors, Will Suen and Sejon Im’s newest short film is brilliantly unhinged, brimming with delicious chaos and wild absurdism.
Suen and Im met, of all places, on Facebook Marketplace. Im explains the origin story of their collaboration: ‘Will wanted to buy some camera gear from me, which led to us going to a pub for some drinks, and from there it was love at first sight.’ He describes their experience co-directing as ‘the biggest gamble’ and ‘best thing to have ever happened’.
