But First, Coffee

Overview

This short film follows a tightly wound young professional whose life is built around routine, productivity, and one sacred ritual: coffee. Over the course of an intense workweek, small disruptions begin to fracture his carefully controlled world, blurring the line between discipline and obsession. With sharp visual montages and dark humor, the story explores workplace pressure, ambition, and how easily composure can give way under relentless stress.
