The year is 1928. Robert Grinliger and his business partner, Jay Marxon decide to start a new Diner. The only problem....they picked the worst year to do so.

This film was my final project for Film Production I, first quarter at the RIT school of film and animation.

It was shot on a bolex H16, with 16mm Tri-X B&W reversal stock. The entire film was shot on about 6 100Ft rolls of Tri-X. film.

I edited the film using a reel to reel moviola editor, and splicing tape. It was an incredibly long process but I'm really happy with how everything turned out.

This digital transfer was done on a 2K Datacine by scanyourfilm.com. Special thanks to Ryan for the great service.

And a big thanks to Jay's diner for letting us shoot there.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The film was required to be under 4 minutes long for the class, which is why its so short. If I could have made it longer, I would have.
