After screening at the BFI London Film Festival and the Boston Underground Film Festival Hip Hop Cafe has now got 201k views on Vimeo and is a Vimeo Staff pick! The film is also on YouTube.
This was a super challenging short to create, conceptually, to our knowledge it hasn't been done before and created issues that no-one had encountered before. We had a great crew and cast and I'd like to thank everyone involved again.
This was a self finnanced film made out of a love of the culture. We would love to make more of these so hit us up if you want to see Hip Hop Cafe 2.
