Seven Layer Dip

A playful and humorous depiction of the classic man vs. woman scenario, this action comedy explores the humorous tensions that arise around a seemingly simple task—making a Seven Layer Dip. The story centers on a sensitive woman who spends her entire day meticulously preparing a delicious dip composed of seven distinct layers, each representing a different aspect of her effort and care. Despite her dedication, her partner—an insensitive man who never specifically requested such elaborate labor—fails to appreciate the effort involved, particularly when he only dips into the top two layers, neglecting the rest.

This act of disregard sparks an amusing conflict. The woman feels compelled to enforce her meticulous layering, leading to a playful struggle with her partner, who, in turn, refuses to accept her instructions, stubbornly choosing to eat the layers his way. Their disagreement escalates into a comedic outdoor brawl, symbolizing the age-old battle of the sexes through a metaphor of layered food and stubbornness. As the conflict unfolds, it becomes clear that this struggle between man and woman is timeless, echoing the eternal dynamic that fuels satire, comedy, and even inspiration.

Throughout the story, the characters’ personalities are vividly brought to life, with the woman embodying sensitivity and dedication, and the man representing stubbornness and rebellion. Their clash highlights the complexities of relationships, where little disagreements can escalate into significant conflicts—yet, ultimately, the message is one of humor, resilience, and the understanding that such battles might never fully cease. The story’s conclusion—“Seven Layer Dip ends full circle”—reflects the continuous nature of human conflict, humorously suggesting that the man vs. woman rivalry will endure until the end of time.

The narrative is enriched by a sense of quirky fun and creative action, reminiscent of the filmmakers’ love for stunt work and DIY filmmaking. Inspired from their own experiences of capturing raw, unfiltered moments—like fighting in a parking lot with homemade camera setups—this project aims to combine playfulness with action in a way that reflects their passion for executing creative, self-made films. Filmed on a single day, September 19th, 2010, and shared shortly after, the film incorporates ropes, pulleys, and creative camera angles to produce an engaging and unique visual style.

The filmmakers express their pride and excitement about this project, viewing it as a continuation of their journey into independent filmmaking—driven by a desire to entertain, inspire, and push creative boundaries. Their goal is to submit this short film to festivals, hoping to share their love of fun action and quirky storytelling with a wider audience. This piece embodies their passion for making movies that are playful, energetic, and full of imagination, encouraging others to pursue their own creative projects with similar enthusiasm.
