“A Film About Coffee” seeks to answer how the titular beverage has become a mainstay of culture all over the world. The film follows the production of coffee from farms in Honduras and harvests in Rwanda to its global consumption.
Listening to farmers, buyers, roasters and baristas about the crop’s economic and environmental implications both locally and abroad, the narrative travels to coffee shops in Tokyo, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and New York, with stops in between.
Dropping in on artisanal cafes to investigate how each prepares its own unique cup, the film opens a window into the little-understood world of specialty coffee.
Born, raised, and educated in Alabama, Brandon Loper has been working commercially in San Francisco for the past 8 years cultivating his craft of telling stories through advertising and short films. His southern roots keep his directing style humble, conversational, and honest.
Brandon’s experience in advertising demands a high standard of work that is stimulating, artful, and distinct. “A Film About Coffee” marks Brandon’s first feature-length documentary.
The film is available on Vimeo On Demand globally starting today for a $4.99 streaming rental or $12.99 download.

"Hands down the most informative, stylish, and compassionate motion picture to be made about our favorite beverage to date." ~Sarah Allen / Barista Magazine
A Film About Coffee is a love letter to, and meditation on, specialty coffee. It examines what it takes, and what it means, for coffee to be defined as “specialty.” The film whisks audiences on a trip around the world, from farms in Honduras and Rwanda to coffee shops in Tokyo, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco and New York. Through the eyes and experiences of farmers and baristas, the film offers a unique overview of all the elements—the processes, preferences and preparations; traditions old and new—that come together to create the best cups. This is a film that bridges gaps both intellectual and geographical, evoking flavor and pleasure, and providing both as well.
