Tommy Dassalo

The inner lives of sad, meek, bored and despondent diners unravel in a suburban Chinese restaurant. Narrated by Lee Lin Chin, Eating Late is a black comedy combining live-action performances with miniature sets. Captured in a single locked-off shot, the film utilises digital zooms to offer unique perspectives of a singular event.

A mysterious imposter steals Tommy Dassalo’s identity and uses it to fraudulently obtain ten thousand dollars from a major bank. When the police drop the case, Tommy takes it upon himself to track down this cybercriminal in a journey through scam e-mails, data breaches and a novelty Garfield phone that will not stop ringing.
