‘Table Manners’ is a 2026 short comedy-drama in post production directed by Ilayda Green that follows an evening of awkward encounters, questionable hygiene and bad manners.

We meet the character of Mason, smug and self-important, he quickly gets on the nerves of everyone he meets. He belittles Stevie, his endlessly patient date, patronises Tilly, the calm and observant waitress, and somehow even manages to squabble with Anaïs, a young French girl who is dining with her family.

Mason’s arrogance soon catches up with him, leaving him publicly embarrassed and humbled as his own behaviour backfires.
