CAFE CAFE, 14min., USA
Directed by Dylan Waite
For two days in a row, a piece of chicken in Jon’s lunch seems to be breathing; for two days in a row, he eats it anyway. When, in the following nights, he is haunted by troubling sounds and a shadowy figure, he calls Cafe Cafe, the diner he ordered from, to make sense of things. He takes the owner up on an offer to come into the restaurant, but finds it difficult to follow through, as his ex-girlfriend, Alex, attempts to reignite their romance, and a mysterious double appears, seemingly intent on replacing Jon altogether.
