Latte America Trailer (2010)

Trailer for Latte America, which screened at the 2010 Slamdance Film Festival.

If you ordered Latte America at the coffee bar, you would ask for “a single shot short, backwards.” Your barista would stop picking at his nose-rings long enough to film an action comedy entirely in reverse, in a single shot. That’s right – all the action, all the dialogue, all delivered backwards, in one take. It’s cinematic history, and it’s very hot. Don’t burn your lips. Three years into the embargo, Joe lives the average North American life: a screaming caffeine headache eased only by visits from his black market bean dealer. When narcotics police raid Joe’s shantytown latté lab, they threaten to cut off his supply forever. Roasting with coffee-fuelled rage, Joe busts his dealer loose and they flee to the junkie-filled streets. Fighting their way to the water – with the police in steaming pursuit – the duo head for a mysterious “exit strategy.”
