Mission Chinese By Sunday Paper



Brace yourself for a pretty intense short about a Chinese cook with a knack for taking his craft of cooking as seriously as dealing with disrespectful customers. The quality of this short caught me off guard, with some incredible acting, stunning cinematography and some very memorable quotes from an assassin that I'd pay to see more of. Using an inner monologue reminiscent of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho, the short does an amazing job of conveying just how intense and focused this 'chef' is, as he obsesses over his art, his god, his food. It left me wanting more, as in a full length version.

The short was written and directed by David Parker and Cole Schreiber, who you might remember from another equally excellent short known as Rest.
