Doing a cooking show may seem to be the lowest career point of a film director (even when talking about advertising film directors duo). And I say: Don’t let blame yourself, it can be fun. Actually, it can be more fun one can handle. We were asked by Outbreak to create an internet-broadcasted cooking show with a twist for one rather old-fashioned food product. We said yes and started thinking how to make a program like that without just creating another silly cooking show we can see in TVs around the world every day. We were encouraged quite well by the original concept to push the limits of idiocy to unknown heights and we decided to elevate the hopeless effort of two main characters as high (means low) as necessary to stand out from the crowd. Tomina, czech comedy unknown superstar, was an easy choice, we know each other for years and our experience is great. Ivana came to the casting recommended by Petra Svarinská from Vivid casting and turned out as the best out of many. They created together a great looking disaster-couple with ability to fuck up anything including a world-wide revolution. Their redneck, provincial, friday-disco-to-bed style of humor was brill. I laughed so much during the two-days shoot that it seriously hurt me and I felt so tired like actually working. We created a cooking show which literally kills any cooking skills a make them look lame in comparison to the level of cheap entertainment we offer in our “Vaříme s Pejskem a kočičkou” series.
Before we will start the project at stream.cz, I am not allowed to post the videos, so here are some pictures from behind the scenes.
