Short Film Program - Fork2FilmFestival
FRI 20 MAR
Coming Soon to
Cameo Cinema
This vibrant lineup of short films invites audiences into kitchens, gardens, and communities where food tells powerful personal stories. From pop-up chefs chasing their dreams to deeply rooted traditions, healing journeys, and a sense of belonging, the program celebrates the flavors, people, and moments that connect us all. Program includes:
Pop-Up Life: Los Angeles
“The Pop-Up Life: Los Angeles” follows local chefs as they navigate the ups and downs of operating a food pop-up. From Chicano soul BBQ to grilled lobsters over mesquite, take a peek into what it's like to be a chef without a brick-and-mortar restaurant in LA. Directed by Lynn Q. Yu.
The Theory of Spice
Linh is a Vietnamese single mother who’s successfully forged a life for herself and her son in America. But when her father visits from Vietnam and insists on cooking the family a traditional Vietnamese meal, Linh is confronted with the past and culture she left behind and the question of where it belongs in her family’s new life. Directed by Gilly Barnes.
Lisa Dahl: Blessed By Grace
"Lisa Dahl: Blessed By Grace" is a moving portrait of a mother’s resilience and the healing power of food. After the tragic loss of her son Justin, chef Lisa Dahl found solace and purpose in Sedona, Arizona—where the stunning red rocks, long revered for their spiritual energy, became the backdrop for her transformation. What began as a tribute to their shared love of cooking has grown into a legacy of six beloved restaurants that helped shape the region’s culinary identity. This heartfelt film explores how one woman’s faith, strength, and devotion turned unimaginable loss into lasting beauty—and how every dish she creates and every guest she serves keeps her son's spirit alive. Directed by Eric Wolfinger.
Plevel (Weeds)
A careful Gardener is losing her strength and her mind in the fight against the weeds that persistently infest her garden. Directed by Pola Kazak.
You Belong Here
“You Belong Here” is an exploration of memory, generational legacy, and the seasonality of life through the eyes of Chef Ouita Michel. In this series she will delve into universal human themes while celebrating the food, people and places that are the fundamental ingredients of her community. Chef Ouita has held certain truths at her center. Her ethos is built upon the concept of old recipes made by young people in new ways. A deep understanding of heritage and hand to hand learning. With the overriding notion that all are welcome. Directed by Rick Gomez.
Guests for Q&A: Lisa Dahl: Blessed By Grace - Director Eric Wolfinger, Chef Lisa Dahl, and Producer Jesse Cutler; The Pop-Up Life: Los Angeles - Director Lynn Yu and Composer Kevin Nash; You Belong Here - Director Rick Gomez, Producer Jenny Gomez, and Chef Ouita Michel
Food Experience: Signature bites provided by Chef Lisa Dahl
