Film Details

BUTTERY TOP

A jug of wine, a loaf of bread - but wait - what kind of bread? A comedy about a first date with extra baggage.

Miami GLBT Film Fest 2009:  “A loaf of bread translates into many possible futures for these women on their first date. A charming and sweet short.”

Frameline Film Fest 2009:  “This is a clever little bit involving the baggage we all bring into a dating situation. A quick, wittily executed, single joke, performed against the Blue Danube, and over a loaf of bread.”

Running time: 4 minutes

Filmed in: Super 8 mm

Exhibition copy: Beta SP or DVD NTSC

Year of completion: 2009
