Dinner is served
A random encounter with a lost beauty leads a dashing Driver to a party where he meets a duo of alluring friends. Little does he know that their seductive game holds a shocking twist, as their night together takes a thrilling and life-altering turn. "Dinner is Served" is a satirical short film that combines elements of horror, thriller, action, and dark comedy to explore the susceptibilities of men to female manipulation. Through a playful twist on stereotypes, the film probes the moral boundaries molded by established social norms, including an often-exaggerated ethos of veganism.
