Brunch in Babel
a short film
Brunch in Babel is a short comedy that addresses the lack of communication in today’s supposedly evolved society. Set in a New York City diner, the patrons, smothering in their own egos, suffer from the inability to listen, and thus, to be heard. Finally, a God-like figure intervenes, realizing that an ancient decision has gone too far. This figure acts in spectacular fashion to correct the course of history and rewire the patrons’ souls and human behavior.
Originally produced as a short play in the the 2108 New York Theatre Festival, Brunch in Babel has been adapted into a short film and marks Derek Nicoletto’s film directorial debut.
