Director(s):
“Two tables, fork, knife. That’s it. And I focus on the food”. Mustapha Mouflih's restaurant Anima e Cuore developed a very quick reputation in my London neighbourhood, Kentish Town. I had my first meal there about 8 months after it had opened, having read a number of rave reviews. I can still remember the freshly made Tagliatelle with veal ragu! It lived up to the hype. I got to know Mustapha well after that, often dropping by for a coffee and some of his award-winning gelato. He shared his cooking philosophy and the story of the restaurant with me, and I knew it would make a great subject for a film. He has turned down many jobs in Michelin star restaurants and has no plans to expand on his restaurant size (currently only seating 24 people), even though they now get booked-up six months in advance. Instead he favours the everyday moments shared with his customers, keeping it local, and human.

Really loves this short. The idea of someone not giving up on having a romantic story play out in their life is something we should all hold onto. Plus cinematography and colors lighting beautiful. Use of lenses.
