The Cafe Shorts

Here at Mountjoy we're busily working on scripts to be shot next month, a series of 5 short films all set in the one place - a local cafe. The general focus is on communication.

The first story is about prejudice, about a group of guys who fail to see beyond their foreign friend's heritage.

The second is about sex, a couple explicitly discussing what they're attracted to.

Three and four will be about a lone man and a business meeting respectively.

Five is about a girl in love with the barista.

This process will see all of us shifting roles and having the chance to direct our own scripts, in a low cost, low pressure environment. We're hoping to shoot at Brother Espresso in Margaret St. If you haven't been there, it's well worth the stroll.
