TRAILER
Lunch With Hitler (2023) was inspired by accounts of the young women who were compelled into service as taste testers for Adolf Hitler at the heavily guarded ‘Wolf’s Lair headquarters during World War 2. There were rumours that the Allies had plans to poison Hitler. Fifteen young women were selected to taste the German leaders’ food to confirm that it was safe to consume.
DIRECTOR BIOGRAPHY – CHRISTOPHER GRANT HARVEY
Christopher Grant Harvey is a writer & director born in Johannesburg, South Africa. At 16, he began his film career in the back garden, making short films with friends. The early 2000’s digital revolution allowed many filmmakers to shoot on miniDV tape, allowing many weekend “backyard” projects to get off the ground cheaply. These backyard projects showcased a knack for kinetic cinematography and inventive editing techniques to make the most of scant production values. He received his Bachelor’s Degree in Film & Television Production from the Motion Picture Academy of Pretoria. After international film festival success with his short film Tears In The Rain (2017), he has continued his intense desire to tell engaging stories.
