HOW TO COOK FRENCH COUSIN

Shot in the bright, sunny setting of Los Angeles, How to Cook French Cousin is a 2-minute short film that draws you in with beautiful visuals and a precise, focused chef. At first glance, it looks like a standard cooking video, with every shot carefully framed to show the chef’s mastery in the kitchen. But as the cooking continues, the film takes a dark and unexpected turn. What starts as an elegant display of culinary skill slowly builds into a shocking revelation: the secret ingredient isn’t meat, but something much more sinister. It’s a gripping short that keeps you watching until the final, unforgettable bite.
