But First...

About This Movie

But First... weaves a whimsical narrative exploring the nuances of life, existing in a surreal space before and after that essential morning coffee. The film plays with time, creating a dreamy atmosphere that mirrors the rituals of daily life. Its pacing is uneven, intentionally so, reflecting the jarring jump from grogginess to alertness. The practical effects are charming, adding to the film's unique visual style, almost like a playful homage to old-school fantasy. Performances range from the quirky to the contemplative, drawing you into a world that feels both familiar and bizarre. It's an experience, really—a peculiar look at how something as simple as coffee can transform our perception of reality.

But First... is somewhat of a hidden gem, often overlooked in mainstream discussions. Its scarcity and eccentric premise spark interest among collectors who appreciate fantasy with a twist. Various formats have circulated, though early VHS editions are particularly sought after. The film’s unique style and quirky charm give it a special place in niche collections.
