Directed by Hayes Tufts and written by Brie Sapir, this taut nine-minute drama unfolds around a dinner table where unspoken tensions simmer beneath polite conversation. The film centers on a gathering of friends and family, including Jeff Brosy, Moïna Snyder, Maximillian Mayerhofer, and John Reddy, each bringing their own hidden agendas and unresolved conflicts to the meal. As plates are passed and wine is poured, the carefully maintained facade of civility begins to crack, revealing deep-seated resentments, long-buried secrets, and the fragile alliances that hold the group together. The central conflict emerges from a seemingly innocuous seating arrangement that forces characters to confront their relationships with power, loyalty, and belonging. With its intimate setting and sharp dialogue, Hayes Tufts crafts a claustrophobic atmosphere where every glance and gesture carries weight. The ensemble cast, including Yuliya Lee, Wendy Leyden, Josie Leyden, Rhonda Pierce Moreno, Trenton Sims, and Shonda Feather, delivers nuanced performances that transform a simple meal into a gripping exploration of human connection and the unspoken rules that govern our interactions.
