Against the farmlands of Suffolk as a hotbed of produce, British chef Hugo Harrison has forged a path in the food industry in spite of its pressures – caught between the humble lifestyle allowed by his environment, and the ambition and perfectionism that underscores his profession.

Growing up to a cheffing father, and seeing his dedication to the kitchen contribute to his absence, the former head chef of Pump Street Bakery explores his relationship with food through the lens of family for short documentary Hugo, directed by George Foote.

Observing his personal and professional worlds, and the rural landscape that connects the two, Hugo follows Harrison as he processes the push and pull of his industry, and the desire to maintain balance in his home life. Driven away from the kitchen by his early experiences, yet recognizing the inherent passion that now binds him to his work, Harrison communicates the new meaning he finds through food – while expanding his understanding of what he’s unwilling to sacrifice.
