What does it mean to put a bun in the oven? I guess it depends on the context. This is certainly the case when it comes to Eva Evans’s new comedic short, starring models Eloisa Santos and Foster Reisz. Shot in the Evans’s kitchen on 16mm film, this urban folktail is a nod to the maker’s late father and artist Matthew Baumgardner. Styled in the garments of Lou Dallas and scored to the music of Onyx Collective, the filmmaker’s speechless script brings together some of our favorite New Yorkers for the miracle that is creative life.
