Did anyone go to the Philadelphia Film Festival? They showed a film called Café that opens on the corner of 43rd and Baltimore facing Greenline Café (shot from Clark Park). The movie takes place mostly inside a café (actual interior set built in Bala Cynwyd which does not quite look like the interior of the Greenline), with some exterior shots in front of the Greenline. The writer/director said he wrote the script while sitting in the Greenline.
Description of the film below: Film Philadelphia Film Festival Café, Thu Oct 21 5:00 pm [We open on a quiet, West Philadelphia corner to comforting music and a slowly-forming crowd of people before the sudden, unmistakable sound of gunshots disrupt the moment. The film then pulls a Tarantino, backtracking to a week before to allow us to organically rediscover this opening moment. This simple narrative builds gradually, adding new characters reminiscent of the patrons in your local coffee shop. We meet the well-intentioned, down on his luck Abuser; the Neighborhood Mom who doesn't need to change the world, so long as she's changing her block; the Drug Dealer who wants to be able to blend in with the locals; the Computer Geek; the Writer; and of course the Baristas. To explain what happens, how these characters interact, what they are after, who tries to do good, and who tries to cause harm would undercut the experience of watching this film. This is a movie filled with people you have already met these are characters first, individuals second; played with understated simplicity by an ensemble cast that includes Jennifer Love Hewitt (Cant Hardly Wait), Daniel Eric Gold (Ugly Betty), and Jamie Kennedy (Heckler). But local scribe/director Marc Erlbaum uses these familiar faces to engage a much larger discussion of morality, exploring themes as great as our very existence... all within the safe and homey confines of your neighborhood cafe. See it with a friend, and be prepared for a discussion afterward.]
