Comfort Food

Comfort Food is a 2016 short produced by Tar City Productions, directed by H. Fritz Bishop and Kenzie Cameron.

This film was written by Fritz and John Bury after they had begun collaborating with each other on the screenplay for Bigsby.

The short stars Sam Bryden and Rachael Murphy, who would both later appear in Bigsby.

Production
The concept for the film was conceived by Fritz and Bury as support material for a funding application to Arts Nova Scotia while writing Bigsby.

The 360 panning shot was conceived and executed by Kenzie, who strapped a camera to the back of an office chair and spun the seat slowly while laying on the floor to achieve the shot, and by Fritz, who assisted Sam with his costume change.

The short was filmed in the Tarbox.

The voice over for the unnamed protagonist was recorded by Kenzie Cameron the night before releasing the short due to poor audio quality in the initial recordings of Sam reading the dialogue.

Sam wears the same housecoat which was worn by Fritz in The Writer and Michael MacNeil in Paul Bishop is Directing a Play, as well as in Grim.
