Knife Skills (2017)

In the heart of Cleveland, a culinary dream takes flight, the creation of a world-class French restaurant. Yet, the staff behind this ambition are not your typical chefs or servers. They are men and women freshly released from prison, most of whom have never held a whisk or served a table, and they have a mere two months to master their roles. Knife Skills (2017) offers an intimate look into the frenzied beginnings of Edwins restaurant, an establishment not only known for its exquisite cuisine and enigmatic French lingo but also for its unique team. This unlikely setting becomes a crucible for individuals striving to reinvent themselves after their release. Through the eyes of three determined trainees and the restaurant's founder, a man himself no stranger to the confines of a jail cell, we explore the daunting challenges they face. Each character, burdened with past mistakes, grapples to establish a new life, a task as fraught with pressure and uncertainty as the audacious restaurant launch they are part of. This remarkable journey of redemption and resilience reveals that like the finest cuisine, second chances can be a complex, yet rewarding endeavor.

Knife Skills is a documentary movie featuring Brandon Edwin Chrostowski and directed by Thomas Lennon.
