One Week Remains in #30DaysOfEspresso Project For DRIP, The Documentary Film

DRIP, the film that looks at the amazing world of coffee competitions and the fascinating baristas who compete in them, seeks support as it enters into its final Kickstarter Stretch (campaign ending April 2nd) and last week of #30DaysofEspresso.
 
LOS ANGELES - March 24, 2014 - PRLog -- DRIP, the coffee documentary that could best be described as Jiro Dreams of Sushi meets Spellbound (but with coffee!), begins its final Kickstarter countdown today, as the month long campaign to garner support the documentary feature following Los Angeles’ most renowned Baristas as they compete in the World Barista Championship heads to the April 2nd finish line.

The focus of the Kickstarter, with eight days remaining, is to raise $50,000 total in crucial post-production money to cover editing, color correction, follow up interviews, crew payments, audio licensing and more.

“Far too often we forget to look at the people who create the things we love.  I wanted to make a film that not only showed how artisanal coffee has become, but one that also shines a light on the craftsman who have devoted their lives to it.” says director Rock Baijnauth. Referring to the campaign specifically, he continues,  “With it's massive reach, Kickstarter has been a wonderful way for us to get people talking about our project and there's this deep level of trust attached to the Kickstarter platform that is hard to find elsewhere.  ”

Also wrapping up within the week is the #30DaysOfEspresso, project, where producer Jimmy Nguyen hits up a different coffeehouse with a new friend every day for the entire Kickstarter campaign.

About DRIP: In 2013, the DRIP team followed some of the rising stars in the coffee world as they were getting ready for the Regional, National, and World Barista Championships. These competitions allowed baristas to showcase their technical skills and creativity as they prepared 12 cups of coffee through 15 minute demonstrations. While this started as a journey for a love of coffee it soon became a fascinating story about the people who dedicated their lives trying to push the limits of a single beverage. This documentary looks at the amazing world of coffee tournaments and the fascinating baristas who compete in them, including Charles Babinski of GO GET EM TIGER and G&B, Truman Severson and Ryan Redden of PORTOLA COFFEE LAB, and Eden-Marie Abramowicz of INTELLIGENTSIA. Directed by Rock Baijnauth (HBO’s The Pirate Tapes), produced by Jimmy Nguyen (Showrunners), executive produced by Christopher Kao (digital media producer )
