Over 16 years Coffee Films have experimented across a diverse range of filmmaking styles and approaches. Born into an underground indie film world of S-VHS and tape-to-tape linear editing we embraced the miniDV explosion and NLE editing, the HDV boom that followed and on into the array of cameras available today with recent projects shooting on DSLR, smartphones, Flip cameras, Arri Alexas and Red.

Stylistically the films have ranged from experimental to arthouse, thriller, documentary, black comedy and drama, and we've been fortunate to have received praise for all of them from festival audiences, critics and even the horrors of YouTube comments. Although we hope to never find ourselves repeating formulas much of our work has settled into exploring the dark, alternative and creative side of humanity, as well as the occasional foray into the beauty of the natural world it exists within.

In the immediate future our slate is targeted in three primary areas of drama/thriller ($2m psychological thriller Lucid shoots in Scotland in 2013), documentary (music doc The Death and Resurrection Show on controversial band Killing Joke is out later this year) and genre (black comedy/thrillers Whoops! and Zomblogalypse both shoot in late 2012), but more than anything we aspire to be creators of ambitious, high quality independent films that tell remarkable, engaging and character driven stories.
