"Food For Thought" Adam Nelson & Gary Hanna's Sizzling Short Moves to Finals of AP'N3 Film Contest

Adrift on the Asbury Park Boardwalk, a half-starved sailor searches for scraps — of food, memory, and meaning. Sun-struck and drifting between hallucination and history, he wanders through the ruins of a world that left him shipwrecked.

That’s Food for Thought — a surreal, salt-rusted meditation on hunger, erasure, and the price of progress.
Created for the AP’N3 Film Challenge by the Asbury Park Arts Council, Asbury Park’s fiercely inventive three-week filmmaking competition, the project was built under pressure: three minutes, one city, one chance to make it count. On Day One, each team received a theme, prop, line of dialogue, and location — the only ingredients allowed. In the On Location category, every frame had to be filmed entirely within Asbury Park’s borders, transforming the city itself into both subject and character.

We’re honored that Food for Thought has been named a Finalist, one of the top selections advancing to the festival premiere, where both the jury awards and the Audience Award will be decided live.
