Episode 294: Dylan Maranda and Brendan Meyer

Filmmaker Dylan Maranda and actor Brendan Meyer swing by the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to discuss Master of the House, a fast-paced genre short that seeks its inspiration from the thrilling world of fine dining. Master of the House, which was shot at the Michelin Star restaurant Kissa Tanto in Vancouver, follows Vincent, a young sommelier, played by Brendan (who starred in all eighty episodes of the Vancouver-shot Mr. Young, and turned in a stellar performance in The OA). Vincent struggles to balance friendship and ambition the night an acclaimed critic (played with searing, sneering fire by Matthew McCaull) dines at his workplace “Reclamation”— a restaurant hyped on reinventing Indigenous cuisine. The performances are on point; the score – which is pulsating jazz – enhances the anxiety of the situation; the themes of white supremacy, reconciliation, and personal truth are timely. In this fascinating conversation, the filmmaker and the actor pull back the curtain on the inspiration for and making of this visceral, fast-paced, and blistering film.
