Coffee Shorts is an independent film company that specialise in all aspects of short film production, distribution and exhibition. They search the web for the best quality short films to display on their website. They list narrative, music, documentary, animation, experimental, comedy and trailers as the categories that they show.
"You won't find funny cat videos or fat kids dancing here, but you will find film festival quality, award winning independet short filmmaking. We invite the best short filmmakers to screen with us and help them gain audiences for their work. You can watch every film free of charge and without membership either by browsing the thumbnails or sitting back and letting the various web channel playlists run. Please feel free to post any of our short films or music videos onto your friends, Myspaces, Facebooks and blogs; share a little art with the world, and tell it Coffee Shorts sent you."
"Coffee Shorts is an independent short film channel showing off exceptional work from some of our friends and discovered from surfing around the web.
We spread the films around a bunch of online channels for people to come across and hopefully spend a little time with, experiencing a world where the guy doesn't always get the girl, evil sometimes overcomes good and things generally don't follow the same weary scripts."
These two quotes show off Coffee Shorts message to the public. They also show the type of film they search for, often things that one wouldn't find in a mainstream cinema or website. This shows that Coffee Shorts look to find new up and coming directors rather than ones that have a name for themselves already.
The company is professional and modern, utilising other websites such as Bebo and Blinkx to advertise their service and effectively creating online portals in many parts of the web. This shows an understanding of the web and one would assume they know what they are talking about when it comes to film too. If they had a shoddy website then maybe the audience would be less interested in the films they were offering.
