Place Cakes – the weird and wonderful
Should you not be aquainted with the phrase “Killing your Darlings”, chances are you are spared deep pain. The film making term refers to material that for no other reason than ensuring the smooth flow of a project, doesn’t make the final cut.
Hours of stunning cinematography never see the light of day, but Rat & Dragon have found a way to honour these little moments. “Place cakes are little snapshots of places, people or experiences that are simply too beautiful to ignore,” explains director Saxon Yuen.
“Sometimes there are so many things that need to fit in a 2 minute commercial, some of the best stories never get told. We have created the Place Cake series to home exactly those weird and wonderful experiences, and we simply can’t find time to edit them all!”
