Shapla
Symphony of The Morning Rush tells the story of a barista overwhelmed by the daily rush of customers at her coffee shop.  

Director's Vision
Eva Gifford said "The concept for the film was inspired by my part time job as a barista at a local cafe. I made this film as an ode to the magic of good coffee, and to the chaos that comes with every rush of a shift. Like an orchestral symphony, our protagonist goes through the cyclical ebbs and flows of a job that attracts the strangest of characters."
