Production of Short Films

Coffee Films is a British Independent Film Company. It was established in 1996 as a Short Film Collective and Coffee Films incorporated in 2003. Within a year, it was recognised as one of Europe's best young production companies. It later progressed to creating documentaries on wildlife and music and gained critical acclaim for its documentary 'Last of the Scottish Wildcats.'

Over the years, Coffee Films has produced a huge range of different films, experimenting with technique, style, genre and generally the moving image. They range from classic five minute black and white films to hour long documentaries.
These include 'How To Disappear Completely' - an 8 minute DV film following a young photographer who can no longer stand the ugly face of society and turns his back on it. Shot for just £500 "the film they called a waste of time" has won several awards, been called a masterpiece and screened across four continents over the last three years.


They are currently producing three more films concentrating on realistic, gritty storylines such as 'Dealer' - a low budget 40 minute Hi-8 black and white/colour short following a week in the life of a young drug dealer living in the south east England commuter belt.

They also work in collaboration with Coffee Shorts. Coffee Shorts is an independent short film production company that was founded in 2003. They have only produced and released 7 short films, but they also showcase other young aspiring filmmakers work.
