Table of Nations, a new experimental film project, is making waves in the local filmmaking scene as it selects an iconic location for its pilot episode. The production team is thrilled to announce that they have chosen the sophisticated Lymbar restaurant at the Ion as a key filming location for this highly anticipated project.
Ion, a dynamic hub of innovation and culture located in the heart of Houston, is home to The Lymbar, the first restaurant featured in Table of Nations, a film project that promises to captivate audiences with its compelling chef-focused storytelling. This choice exemplifies the project's commitment to showcasing Houston's rich diversity and vibrant culture on the global stage.
Table of Nations, written and produced by Brendan Thompson, has already generated significant buzz in the industry due to its unique experience-oriented ideology. The film series’ plot revolves around themes of unity, diversity, and the shared human experience, making The Lymbar a fitting location choice for a scene that highlights the crossroads of cultures and experiences.
The Lymbar, known for its elevated culinary offerings in the historic architectural icon, is a fitting beginning to the project.
"We are excited to collaborate with David Cordua and The Lymbar for this significant part of our film," said Brendan Thompson. "David and the entire staff at The Lymbar were amazing. I loved hearing more about the story of their location-every prop in the restaurant has a specific meaning and connection to David’s childhood and his past. We are trying to reflect that in the film.”
Table of Nations is set to feature a diverse cast of known and unknown chefs, with talented people from various backgrounds, symbolizing the rich tapestry of cultures found in Houston and beyond.
