WINNER - Best Film - Shanghai International Short Film Contest 2016 WINNER - Audience Choice Award - Shanghai International Short Film Contest 2016 WINNER - Best Editing (Short Film) - Auckland International Film Festival 2016 FINALIST - Top 25 Shorts - InShort Film Festival 2017 When the fantasy of "the happy ever after"doesn't quite live up to the reality, it can be a Recipe for disaster. The film uses parallel montage technic: the story is mixed with the manual of how to cook a steak. Typical western dish, the steak, represents globalization which becomes a metaphor of an Asian housewife going away from the traditional thinking to stand whatever the husband does. However, the film criticizes westernization by showing that the new thinking will not bring any good at the end either… Written and Directed by Gleb Torubarov Producers: Jonnie Clementi Smith, Liqun Mao Production Manager: Liqun Mao Assistant Director: Zhaoming Hu Director of Photography: Gleb Torubarov Sound Mixers: Weinan Guo, Elshaday Mekkonen, Yan Ma Production Assistant: Daria Gruzdeva Make-Up Artist: Zixuan Zhao Editor: Gleb Torubarov Narrated by Marie Prevot Starring: Xiukun Zhu, YuAng Shen, Xin Liu Camera: Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera (BMPCC) Lens: Lumix 1:5-5.8 / 14-140mm
