All American
Dinner
Suburban surrealism meets vintage sitcom thriller
All American Dinner is a surreal domestic drama about a 1950s housewife who prepares an immaculate meal in hopes of rekindling connection with her distant husband. As he remains indifferent, a chilling radio broadcast mirrors her internal state, and her carefully constructed reality begins to unravel—blurring the line between illusion and truth, and exposing the emotional cost of living unseen.
