A very serious homage to the most dramatic restaurant scene in cinema history… but this time it’s about free coffee.
Built around awkward tension, bold performance and the kind of spiralling confidence that only free coffee can give you ;)
Cute. Cringe. Commitment to the bit. Always.

2 froma series of 5 film created for Caffé Nero; In Refer A Friend, a chance meeting in a café queue turns into instant one-sided, bestie moment - all because of a free coffee and very questionable name confidence. The lengths we go to for free coffee....
Soft chaos. Warm awkwardness.
A flustered customer. A missing loyalty card. A smug café hero with an app solution locked and loaded.
Built around that tiny, painful social moment where someone is effortlessly more prepared than you and one is reminded of their chaos and the abandoned croc in their handbag.
Humbling. Necessary. Character-building.
Birthday confidence levels: unlocked. As balloons appear and bump unsuspecting customers, our café hero floats out with a free cake and zero situational awareness. Physical comedy, oblivious joy, gentle destruction. Honestly… aspirational behaviour.
