TikTok: These Wes Anderson-Esque Movies Are Love Letters to San Francisco Food and Drink | Eater SF

"A short TikTok mini-documentary on this well-known restaurant has racked up hundreds of thousands of views and showcases the cinematic visual language that informs the series — think purple- and pink-hued medium‑tight shots inspired by The Grand Budapest Hotel and Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love. The videos emphasize subjects speaking about 'the effort behind the curtain' while the filmmaker stays out of frame; she equips herself with a Canon R6 Mark Two, her dad’s pricey lenses, and a DJI mic to achieve that look. On why she started the project she says, 'I loved the city as a kid,' and 'I was so excited to come back. Everyone has a unique story to tell.'" - Paolo Bicchieri
