French hours

French hours

French hours is a term used in the film industry, when no lunch hour is designated on-set. Instead food is passed around all day long and the crew works continuously. The lack of a lunch break means that a crew member will have to steal moments to eat but it also provides for a continuous and generally more efficient production pace. Joel Schumacher employed French Hours in filming "Phone Booth", a film completed in just ten days [http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/85/sgodin.html] .
