Synopsis

Shy and looking for love, Mark quickly becomes smitten with the outgoing and mysterious Ash, who somehow, much to his surprise, reciprocates the attraction. But as his feelings for her intensify, so does his unexpected submersion into Ash's biggest love: the wild world of mukbanging. And with it, lots of bloodshed.

About The Film

Director Aimee Kuge has this to say about the film:

When I first wrote the script, my first draft of it, I sent it to a lot of my friends, my writer friends, and they all said the same thing. They’re like, “Mark is so unlikable. Mark seems like a film asshole. I hate this guy. Why does she like him? Ash is so cool. Why does she like him?

And so a big thing that I changed in the script was making Mark more likable and making him more sweet and funny and goofy and kind of awkward, funny. Because Mark, I based that character off of myself. So I’m like, damn, they must think I’m unlikable!
This first pass of this character, nobody likes him. So, yeah, I wanted to make him more likable and more like that sweet boy next door that you just want to squeeze but shake because they’re doing something so stupid. I always had it in my head that I was going to make this very low budget and quickly.
So everything that I wrote, I wrote because I knew that I had friends, apartments that I could use, and I knew that I could shoot in New Jersey, and I could find cheaper places to shoot there and certain things like that. So a lot of the script, from my head just came out of practicality and me thinking about production and putting my producer brain on it, saying, okay, that’s going to be expensive.
