Everything a journalist, festival or streaming partner needs: the series, the pilot, the team, and how to reach us.
Off The Table is a cinematic travel documentary series where hyper-polyglot Ricky Seaman uses shared meals to close the distance between people. Speaking the local language and understanding the context, he enters spaces most travellers never reach, kitchens, street stalls, family tables, for unscripted, human encounters.
Each episode pairs two halves. The Table, the field journey, where food is the way in. And The Conversation, filmed back in New York, where Ricky and director Mark Dearborn unpack the trip, drinks in hand, testing what they saw, misread or assumed. The series exists to show that connection begins at the table, and that proximity changes everything.
The first episode opens in a country the headlines never let you see whole, a nation reinventing itself, told from the table out. Food is the way in, language is the key, and the camera stays close enough to hear what gets said between mouthfuls.
