TIME TO EAT is a short film about childhood imagination and the monster inside all of us. I wanted to make a film that could be enjoyed by audiences around the world – no matter what language they spoke. It was important that the story was universal as well, so I started with the classic idea of the “monster in the basement” then gave it my own little twist. It’s important that the protagonists in my films aren’t victims… I wanted them (and the audience) to recognize the strength they have, and use that to succeed. And of course, I hope they get a scare and a laugh out of it
