Help Bring Let's Eat Frank to Life

"Let's Eat Frank": A film by Corey Silverman Lloyd and Molly Scotti

Donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE

LOGLINE:

Frank, a Venus flytrap who won’t eat, encounters an unlikely trio of strangers sent to his Brooklyn brownstone. Unable to feed him, the humans embark on a psychedelic journey that allows Frank to show them the world through his… eyes.

OVERVIEW:

On the backdrop of a world hurtling towards ecological collapse, mutual understanding between humans, plants, and other earthly forces is as crucial as ever.

Our primary goal with “Let’s Eat Frank” is to attempt to fully embody the perspective of a plant and express their subjectivities without anthropomorphizing them. The playful, exaggerated style of the plants’ perspectives (Plant POV) collides with the frantic daily lives of human New Yorkers, pushing both characters and viewers alike to reconsider assumptions around earthly consciousness, autonomy, communication, and desire. This approach highlights the filmmakers' recognition of their own creative limits as humans trying to embody a fully plant perspective.

Ultimately, “Let’s Eat Frank” seeks to appeal to viewers who remain unsatisfied with strictly human renderings of life and intelligence, and hopes to inspire new avenues for interacting with the more-than-human world.
