synopsis
Somewhere along the road to Hell sits a Coffee Shop that only the damned can see. Inside it today are Scampi the cat and John who are having a short conversation about love and phones with fancy features that you will never use.
Warning: contains scenes of mild Teabag peril.
short fact
"Coffee Shop Hell took two months to create, it uses 2D hand-drawn animation combined with 3D computer generated backgrounds. It's the first part of a planned Coffee Shop Hell series. Thank you to everyone we met at Brief Encounters festival 2005 who had only had good words to say about the film."

    I like the humour & dark mood of the story. Good use of music/SFX too.

    Nice one Matt

    So...this is Episode 1. When do we get to see Episode 2?

    You've got a great sense of humor, and I love the style of animation.

    Hi Matt

    A very good animation if I might say so. I like the humour, as it is funny, but with a bit of an edge to it which just hits the spot.

    I see that you mention it as episode 1. Does this mean there are going to be more in the coffee shop hell series coming out?

    I've started doing my own animation series called Tibasolite Inc. which is about a group of stuffed toys that work hard in a factory, making a special magazine, and hopefully, some of these will be shown on the film network.

    Great script Matt. Mobile phone envy, funny subject. We are all techno nerds. Though I did use to collect stamps. Oh yes. Good times.

    this is gotta be one my favourite animations i've seen in ages. Loved the wit, style, and the combining of 2d and 3d. It was mighty good.
