'Coffee Run' by Bomper Studio

When it comes to office politics, there's one element that takes precedence above all else: the hot drinks round. 'Coffee Run' is the story of a hard-pressed protagonist attempting to make an elaborate coffee round for his colleagues.



Produced by CGI studio Bomper as part of an in-house competition to create the studio's first stand-alone short, Coffee Run was an exercise in creating a full film with one character and environment. Depending on who in the studio you ask, it's either a fully fictional piece or the closest you can get to a documentary while still having a character with squiggly spaghetti arms. Either way, the film is based on experience - in fact, we drank two coffees while writing this blurb.



Co-Director, Josh Hick at Bomper said: “Coffee Run was our first chance to really work on a full, stand-alone short film as a studio. It's something I've wanted us to do for years and so it's cool to see everyone come together. There's also something good about putting hours and hours of work and creative energy into a shot of a man banging his head on a mop.”
