What if Our Favorite Directors Made Food Tutorials?

Ever wondered how Werner HerzogOpens in a new tab makes eggs? How Stephen SpielbergOpens in a new tab cooks his Thanksgiving turkey? Whether Ingmar Bergman would put pork in his collard greens? How Tommy WiseauOpens in a new tab would prepare his infamous glass of hot water? Well if these thoughts have ever crossed your mind, food stylist David MaOpens in a new tab has a special treat for you with his #foodfilms series. This beautifully shot and styled selection of food tutorials re-imagines the popular internet trend by placing some of the most famous directors on Earth behind the camera.

These shorts perfectly encapsulate each iconic director’s style. Wes Anderson’s s’mores are whimsical, sweet, and overtly stylized; Alfonso Cuarón’s pancakes are epic and very, very shiny. Quentin TarantinoOpens in a new tab‘s spaghetti and meatballs leans heavily into the splatter and (pun intended) the spaghetti westerns that the bad boy director loves so much; And Micheal BayOpens in a new tab‘s waffles? Well they’re as messy and explosive as you’d expect from the man who’s bought us five Transformers movies.
