Award-winning black comedy from Raygun Films.
What drives a man to drink 60 cups of coffee? And is it really enough to kill him?
Wrtten by Robbie McCallum. Produced by Raymond Martin. Directed by David Andrew Ward.
“The James Dean style star (Jerry Broome) of Sixty Cups of Coffee says in a voice-over that he once heard that drinking the aforementioned amount of java would "stop your heart like a tight-wound watch". So, the film's protagonist hits a local coffee shop to see if his number is up. As he chokes down cup-after-cup of the nasty brew, a couple of beefy trucker types bet on whether he can do it. Undaunted, this rebel without a coffeemaker keeps firing down the caffeine cocktails - and the crowd grows increasingly tense as he nears his ominous goal. Let's just say that the startling finale is well worth seeing. Sixty Cups of Coffee is a clever, well-made film that takes an offbeat idea and really makes it work. Filmmaker David Ward really delivers the goods.”
