Director and Food Artist David Ma has imagined if famous directors shot cooking videos. #FoodFilms are a series of shorts in which he re-imagines recipe tutorials as if they were directed by four of our favorite directors: Wes Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, Michael Bay and Alfonso Cuarón. They are imaginative, entertaining and wonderfully executed.

If Famous Directors Shot Cooking Videos

From the soundtrack to the title designs, these wonderfully creative reinterpretations of cooking tutorials have nailed the directing styles of these four feature film directors.

What if Wes Anderson made S’mores?

With the color palette, symmetrical framing and undeniable charm of Wes Andersen’s quirky movies, David Ma shows us how he’d make that ol’ camping favorite… S’mores:

What if Tarantino made Spaghetti & Meatballs?

With the appropriate music, knives flying àla Kill Bill and angry tomatoes out for revenge, watch how Quentin Tarantino would cook up this Italian staple:

What if Michael Bay made Waffles?

From the faux title treatment to the slo-mo explosions, Michael Bay’s recipe for Waffles is a blast:

What if Alfonso Cuarón made Pancakes?

Like his best known film, the ingredients in Cuarón’s pancakes defy Gravity:

I hope David plans on making more of these, I’d like to see how Martin Scorsese would make a brisket.
