Coffea is a genus of flowering plants in the Rubiaceae family. They are shrubs or small trees native to tropical and southern Africa and tropical Asia. Seeds of several species are the source of coffee. Coffee ranks as one of the world's most valuable and widely traded commodity crops and is an important export product of several countries. The leaves and the outer part of the fruit are also sometimes eaten.
There are several species of Coffea that may be grown for the beans. The trees produce red or purple fruits called "cherries" that look like drupes, but are epigynous berries. The cherries contain two seeds, the so-called "coffee beans", which — despite their name — are not true beans. In about 5-10% of any crop of coffee cherries, there is only a single bean, rather than the two usually found. This is called a peaberry, which is smaller and rounder than a normal coffee bean. It is often removed from the yield and either sold separately (as in New Guinea peaberry), or discarded.
When grown in the tropics, coffee is a vigorous bush or small tree that usually grows to a height of 3–3.5 m (10–12 feet). Most commonly cultivated coffee species grow best at high elevations but are nevertheless intolerant of subfreezing temperatures.[citation needed]

Plot: What started out as a photography project to experiment developing film using coffee (aka Caffenol method) morphed into a 9 month animation production. The filmmakers developed a story that could be told in their respective locations -James in California and Juli in Arkansas. The idea began with James' recently pulled wisdom teeth and the coffee that would ultimately be used to develop the film. The footage was shot both in California and Arkansas, as well as several states along I-40 while the two traveled from one site to another. All the images were created using a 35mm SLR camera; actors and objects were animated frame by frame to tell the simple story of a girl with a toothache. Each roll of film underwent coffee development and hand processing which is what gives the film its sepia-tinted imperfect look. The images with all their stains and scratches were digitally scanned and the hand-drawn elements were added in the editing process. By exploring old film techniques and adopting a DIY attitude, the filmmakers hope to preserve the organic magic of working with film stock as well as encourage a more tactile approach to creating unique imagery.

Falling to pieces
Try to find the right words
So you can sing along
Wear it like a tight noose
I don't wanna feel this
Might of made a wrong move
Now I'm all alone
I never know which way to go
A million thoughts I can't control
The city sleeps, but I can't close my eyes
California
California
Drowning in a bright room
Faking the feelings
Wonder if the right words
Are even here at all
I'm living through the hardest part
In a city full of fallen stars
A million dreams I can't close my eyes
California
