Brian,
an everyman cubicle-mole, decides to take a lunch break. Once outside,
he encounters a strange man that gives him a mysterious box with
simple instructions...keep the box closed. This sparks a series
of re-connections with old friends, past lovers, and wayward synthesizer
performers. But...what's in the BOX?
NOTE: This was our entry in the 48-hour
film festival in Boston. For those of you unfamiliar with the
festival, each group of filmmakers gets a genre, a line of dialogue,
a character, and an object on a Friday night. You then have 48 hours
to write, film, edit and score the film. It is turned in Sunday
night and shown 2 weeks later. It's a lot of fun, but hardly an
ideal way to create a film.
I'm not apologizing
for Box Lunch...just...you know...keeping it all in perspective
for you nice viewers :) Enjoy!
A young couple
move into their first home. Before they can settle in, a creature
resembling a humanoid astronaut appears on their front lawn. Rather
than alert the authorities or confront the strange traveller, they
decide to watch and wait for it to make the first move...and wait...and
wait...
