A chef vs. one bug. Ten minutes. Absolute chaos ensues.
An mad, unhinged chef and his futile attempts at killing a cockroach in a restaurant kitchen. This film takes its cues from the giant-insect films of the 50's such as "Them!" (1954) and a nod in the direction of Kafka's "Metamorphosis."
Practical Effects
Giant prop cockroach is gloriously unconvincing.
Acting
David Atkins commits to full unhinged breakdown.
Director
Ethan Cohen-Sitt
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cohen-Sitt shot this at his actual restaurant job after hours, using real kitchen equipment. The health code violations were apparently 'worth it for the art.'
The giant cockroach prop was borrowed from a 1984 NYU student film and still had fake blood from its previous role as a 'mutant sewer dweller.'
