King Pie 'A Taste of Comfort'

View I DID THAT Craft Awards March 2026 showcase

ABOUT THE WORK

Shot as a high-velocity montage of modern motherhood, the film mirrors the unrelenting pace of a working mom’s day – cutting rapidly through school runs, office pressures, and domestic demands. The rhythm holds… until it breaks. With the opening of a freezer drawer, time dilates, sound softens, and a King Pie becomes the emotional pivot of the story. A Taste of Comfort uses contrast in pace and tone to transform a simple meal into a moment of stillness, connection, and well-earned relief.
