El Caffinato

El Caffinato is the first short film produced by Miner Light Productions. Filmed in Carrboro, NC, in the summer of 2011, El Caffinato is a short rock opera that updates and transplants a classic Western narrative into the milieu of a contemporary coffee shop. It tells the story of Milo Beckett, a lovesick loner who must lead the caffeine-buzzed regulars in a musical showdown with an old-time foe, Dusky Dan Digby.

  

Since its premiere at the Carrboro Film Festival in November 2011 (where it won the prize for "Best Professional Short"), El Caffinato has been accepted to six national festivals and received a 4-star review from the online film journal FilmThreat.
