The film Lunch and its documentary, How to Make Lunch in 30 Minutes, will be available below, along with information about the production.

Lunch is a non-stop slapstick romp through the glorious streets of London. Featuring heart-pounding chasing, cut-throat martial arts and profound silence, Lunch is crowd-stunning at its best.

Lunch was premiered at St Paul’s School, UK in spring 2006, to wildly pleased audiences. “I’ve never seen such realistic expressions,” stated one English teacher. “This film really tugs at the heartstrings.” The film was also distributed on Special Edition DVD, bundled with the mistitled documentary How to Make Lunch in 30 Minutes, which is presented below.

History

Lunch sprang to life in April of 2006 when martial artists JohnWithers and Maxim Daniline phoned directorand producer Kut Akdogan, a longtime school friend, with a proposal. Kut’s family wasn’t keen on early marriage, but he agreed to help John and Maxim make a film to document their talents in the Japanese arts of jodo, aikido and iaido and in the French pastime of freerunning. Over the two months of production, the project transformed from adocumentary to a fictional masterpiece. With more planning than council estate construction, Lunch grew into a behemoth that entailed scripting, scheduled shooting, extras, intense editing, cutting-edge special effects and marketing. Now, testament to the trio’s achievement stands in the undying halls of the Blue Sands Productions website, where it will remain standing, until the domain name expires next month.

The plot, though simple, is of illimitable genius. The Hero (John Withers), on his lunch-break, has just purchased a sandwich. No sooner has he bitten it than the Villain (Maxim Daniline) appears, and hungrily pursues the food item, unbeknownst to the Hero. Eventually he grabs the sandwich out of the Hero’s hands and flees. The chase begins, and leads through London's Embankment south bank to a secluded estate, where the rivals do battle in a true homage to every fight scene ever.

Whether the Villain is real or just a product of this idle Londoner’s mind depends on how far one chooses to read into the film. The critics, naturally, love to read.
