Beyond Fest - Melvin Goes To Dinner

When Melvin (Michael Blieden) organizes a dinner party with an old friend (Matt Price), two more acquaintances tag along. The group sips wine and discusses the casual happenings of daily life amid flashbacks to past events, and as the evening progresses, the friends become comfortable with each other. Their conversations shift to intimate details about sex, marriage and relationships in this slice-of-life drama adapted from Blieden’s stage play “Phyro-Giants!”

World Premiere of the new restoration of MELVIN GOES TO DINNER is courtesy of Graveface Films, a subsidiary of Terror Vision Home Video.
