"The Other Half" is a short film submitted for the 2009 Connecticut Film Festival's "24 Hour Cup-'O-Joe Filmmaking Competition," it needed to have the theme of "broke" (in any context), incorporate coffee (verbally, a prop, etc), be 3-4 minutes in length, be shot within 2 miles of downtown Danbury, CT. As the name of the competition implies, it had to be started and finished within only 24 hours.
