A 20-Course Cinematic Dinner for G20

Menu by Great Performances | Hosted at Shift Midtown | Concept by THREE20

As part of a three-day celebration leading up to the New York City premiere of Amazon Studios’ G20, the creative team at THREE20 envisioned an immersive experience that would bring together culture, community, and cinematic storytelling. One of the centerpieces of the weekend: a 20-course interactive dinner designed to echo the emotional rhythm of the film.

With just one week to develop the menu, Great Performances—led by Culinary Director Andrew Smith and Senior Event Director Gary Bedigan—designed a five-act culinary journey, with four courses per act. Each phase of the meal was crafted to align with the evolving tone and visuals of the evening, supporting a fully immersive, multi-sensory experience.

Shift Midtown, the host venue, provided the perfect backdrop for THREE20’s vision, transforming the space with projection mapping and live performance. Walls, tables, and plates became dynamic storytelling surfaces. Actors moved through the room. Guests were transported into a world where fiction, film, and food collided.

From the first bite to the final scene, the dinner played a central role in the evening’s narrative—a seamless collaboration between visual storytelling, live performance, and culinary creativity.

We were honored to support THREE20’s bold concept and help bring one of the most memorable moments of the G20 premiere to life.
