About the Film

This is a film letter to Jim Jarmusch, borrowing the setting and spirit of Coffee and Cigarettes. We improvised as ourselves—drinking coffee, smoking, and chatting—allowing the rhythms of real conversation to guide the film. What began as a casual moment turned into something more reflective. A cat wandering off became both a real interruption and a natural structure—an opening and an ending that bookend the film with quiet purpose. Shot in a single afternoon on a back porch, the film drifts between fiction and documentary. Its simplicity is intentional: a loose, observational piece shaped by presence, mood, and admiration for Jarmusch’s way of seeing.
