Best Director, Alternative Film Festival
You know those pictures on paper coffee cups? Who makes those, anyway?
Empire follows Joe, an old school New Yorker who—back in the day—designed a semi-popular coffee cup and hasn’t quite realized that the world has changed.
I’m ever fascinated by the unseen people who handle the miniscule pieces that make up our world. Empire is a exaggerated imagination of one of these people, as well as a slight love letter to coffee.
