The Coffee Run: A 90-second coffee-delivery film set against the Winter Olympics

Anomaly and directing duo Julian & Quentin created The Coffee Run for Starbucks. It tells the story of a man traveling through a snowy mountain town to deliver coffee to U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes and the teams working behind the scenes. The story advances through his repeated trips back and forth, and the film ran during the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics and major U.S. sports broadcasts. The finished 90-second film underwent a film-out process: it was transferred to physical film and then scanned back into a digital image to achieve a film texture. The project’s audience included Team USA, it was filmed in Italy, and it is categorized as an international case study.
