ART FEEDS THE SPIRT & NOURISHES THE SOUL

At the very beginning of the pandemic, after getting my toilet paper and my mask, I focused on developing a show concept to try and find a way to support the restaurants. We came up with Art Feeds the Spirit and Nourishes the Soul.

The idea is simple: Celebrities, athletes, artists and locals will make content that is a shout-out to their favorite local neighborhood restaurants. We then put all these videos together into a show, which can then raise funding for various non-profits that support restaurant workers and local businesses. The videos can lift their spirits and provide much-needed financial support

VIDEO PRESENTATION

PROOF OF CONCEPT

JIMMY JOHN'S

My friend Hersh was posting very silly videos to entertain his daughter, along with himself, during the pandemic. He does a great Scarface and he lives in Iowa so devised this silly series about sheltering in place, binge watching ordering eats.

JINYA RAMEN

As a follow-up, I wanted to make a fun video around ramen to express my gratitude towards my local ramen place. I got to know the owner and spent a lot of my PPP to help her keep her lights on. To make this video as a silly spin on the famous Street Fighter video game, I filmed each actor through Zoom and went through various scenarios, of winning,losing and a final victory. Each round was a duel of slurping betwee two gladiators and their choice of ramen from Jinya.
