THREE WAYS TO DINE WELL (2021)

(Digital/21mins/Colour+B&W/UK)

Winner, Best Documentary Film, Austin After Dark Film Festival; Semi Finalist, Best Film Under 60 Minutes, Haunted House Fear Fest.

This essay film explores horror's relationship to eating, in over seventy horror films made by women, from the 1920s - 2020s.

I was invited to do an in-depth conversation about this film with horror scholar Dr Kate Roberson and the legendary Hannah Neurotica at Ax Wound Film Festival in October 2021. You can watch the conversation here.

...Dine Well was published in English and Spanish in Tecmerin: Journal of Audiovisual Essays in December 2022, where you can find a detailed creator statement about my aims and ambitions for the project.
