Coffee Run runs like a side
scroller computer game walk-through except it runs very fast as it attempts to
tell a life story in around 3 minutes. While the side scrolling technique is a
great concept, it is easy to miss the clues of the story’s meaning. One must
pay close attention to the white highlights and watch this short film several
times to finally ‘get’ it. Notice the repetitive theme as the main character
runs through her life. The storyline is very good and delivers a double heart
whammy when one first realizes what has happened to sweet dreams and hopes. After watching, it is broadening to read the comments of
other viewers before leaving. This short film makes a lastingly sad impression that
makes one deeply think about how we walk (run) through life. For this movie, it seems a small adjustment in run time would help increase comprehension levels.
