French hours "French hours" is a term used in the film and television industries, when there is no break for lunch during a film shoot. Instead food is passed around all day long and the crew works continuously. The lack of a lunch break means that crew members and the cast have to steal moments to eat. Joel Schumacher employed French hours when filming "Phone Booth", a film completed in 10 days. Ridley Scott also used the approach when filming "Robin Hood", noting that actors often had to eat on horseback between takes. Scott also agreed with the cast and crew that he would adhere strictly to a 10 hour shooting day due to lack of a traditional lunch break.
