I am fascinated by family. The characters that make them up, the activities they do together, how we survive them and how we couldn't survive without them. My family revolves around the dinner table and so during my undergraduate days I made this documentary entitled "Family Dinner." It followed several families from different cultural and economic backgrounds and showed the ritual of the activity of family dinner. I was going to use this video segment as a sales tool in order to secure funding for a larger project. Life took over and I got a job and abandoned this project but never let go of the material. I couldn't forget about my family and these dinners if I tried. For the purpose of this project I will be focusing on my family. The Italian-ness, the noises, sights, sounds and smells. But since we all have families, and we all eat, is there a way we can incorporate elements of my project into elements of some of your projects? If only for the sake of informing the visuals that will be present at the multimedia exhibit at the end of the year.
In video one you will only see my family and the Roosen's. The longer cut of the documentary is just too long to post.
Video two is the trailer for "Family Dinner." In the trailer you will see the Cacciottolo family (my family), the Jenkins family, and the Roosen family.
