Break Bread by Jeremy Thomas
PCN friend Jeremy Thomas from Hdi RAWworks, has released a great short film called Break Bread. He showed this short at the ETE Expo Canon Seminar to great reactions. He also used it to illustrate shooting sound in a workshop he taught later in the day where he brought in actor Mike Wade and collaborator Robert Lehman. They literally shot this short for $3, no joke. That is what the lunchmeat and bread cost for props (and craft services).

…rather than write about someone stuck in a house, or a bar or the desert I thought about a man living in his car, and what that would look and feel like.
So, I asked a close friend of mine, an amazing up and coming actor named Mike Wade if he’d like to shoot an experiment with me. I hadn’t written anything I just knew I wanted to explore that kind of space. So he and another close friend of mine Robert Lehman (who ran sound on this) decided to shoot something. We didn’t really know what we we’re going to do, or how we we’re going to do it but we knew we we’re doing it. After 4 hours of rain, we finally caught a break and jetted down to the warehouse district near downtown. Armed with a Canon 7D a tripod and an H4n sound recored we went off. This is what we came up with.
