Following recognition by a Portland publication, Candy & Akshay are now handling a surge in demand for their pizzas during lunch service. Over 13 million individuals are employed in the restaurant industry in the United States. "Between The Two" is a 4 minute observational documentary that delves into the working dynamics of restaurant employees. This film takes audiences into the dining spaces we frequent, offering the perspective of the people who prepare our food.

Behind The Film

We decided to film with a specific style that locked in our cinematography. It was crucial for us to focus on the interaction between Candy and Akshay, keeping them and their dynamic with the restaurant at the center of the frame. This is why we opted for a 4:3 aspect ratio. I believe that nothing in the periphery mattered except our subjects. We also chose to shoot entirely with locked-down shots to facilitate a deliberate, measured editing pace, but observational docu-style. Sound design was the driving force of our film, allowing the voices of our characters and the sounds of the restaurant to guide viewers through this observational styled documentary.
