Original Content Submissions

For our Vancouver and Santa Ana film festivals, we are pleased to bring you an amazing selection of short films by Søren Stiller Markussen, Counter Culture Coffee, Noel Salinas, and Barista’s Daily Grind!

See your short film on the big screen!

Submissions for Santa Ana and Vancouver are now closed. We may solicit original content again for shorts to be shown at future festivals. Submissions for Santa Ana and Vancouver were accepted in the following categories:

• Educational/Instructional: Teach us how to do something! This could be anything from presenting the basics of preparing a good cup aimed at a non-specialty coffee professional to the chemical breakdown of ground coffee over time. If you know something and want to share it, this is your venue!
• Coffee Passion: What is your coffee passion? Tell us a story that gives us a window into the coffee experience. Films in this category should endeavor to invoke the wonder, mystery, and adventure inherent in the coffee experience. We are looking for entries that take a creative approach to the subject, as well as entries that in turn inspire others to enter into your coffee world.
• Parody: There is professionalism and seriousness in the specialty coffee industry. There’s also a lot to make fun of! Think you can make us laugh?

Our aim is to encourage independent films and not merely company advertisements. Films should be 2-7 minutes long.

Please check back for information on submitting your film for future festivals.
