About CoffeeChroma Studios
Founded in 2023 as the evolution of a previous project, CoffeeChroma Studios was born with the mission of telling stories authentically, free from the constraints of modern moral and ideological conventions. We believe every narrative holds its own essence and deserves to be told in the way that best captures its truth.
We are an independent studio blending cinema, games, animation, and literature to create immersive experiences that explore the human condition in all its complexity. Our lo-fi aesthetic, combined with a deep commitment to art and storytelling, allows us to build worlds that provoke reflection and stir genuine emotion.
At CoffeeChroma, we don’t follow trends or external agendas. Our only loyalty is to the story and the impact it can create. Every work we produce carries a piece of our team’s soul—talented artists dedicated to crafting rich and unforgettable universes.
If you seek stories that challenge, move, and resonate with the core of what it means to be human, welcome to CoffeeChroma Studios.
Join us and get your daily dose of immersion—and maybe a little existential emptiness.
May & July – CoffeeChroma Theme
At CoffeeChroma Studios, we believe that aesthetics also tell stories. That’s why the English and Spanish versions of our website follow a special project called the “Bi-Monthly Theme” — every two months, we adopt a visual identity inspired by a culture, country, or artistic movement that shapes global creativity.
From May 10th to July 10th, the theme is the United States of America, in anticipation of Independence Day (July 4th), and in celebration of the country’s immense cultural contributions to cinema, comics, music, pop art, and games — fields we are deeply passionate about at CoffeeChroma.
The two-month cycle is a strategic choice: it allows us to build a richer atmosphere and give our visitors time to dive into the visual references. Expect stars, bold colors, subtle American-inspired details — and a few surprises along the way.

A Thousand Faces of the Subway
Imagine an underground world where each station reveals a new creative mind. A subway journey that begins at any random point… and ends wherever imagination decides. “Thousand Faces of the Metro” is the artistic manifesto calling animators from every corner of the globe to unite and create a continuous, collaborative, visceral, and unforgettable film.
ONE JOURNEY, INFINITE PERSPECTIVES
The concept is simple: an animation of up to 20 seconds about a subway ride. That’s it. No limitations in style, tone, or approach. Surrealism, realism, absurdism, drama, urban chaos, melancholic everyday life, comedy, aesthetic experimentation… everything is valid, as long as it’s genuine — and, most importantly, made by human hands.
We will not accept AI-generated content. This competition is a celebration of handmade art, of sweat, patience, and the identity of each artist. A tribute to real animation.
The clips must be based on the reference video linked at the end of this page, following the construction model provided.
Each submitted clip will be stitched together into a grand international film, where every piece carries the soul of a different artist. It will feel like boarding a train where each wagon is a unique visual, cultural, and emotional universe.
HOW IT WORKS
Each artist submits a single clip of up to 20 seconds.
The theme is: “A Subway Journey” — interpret it as you wish, as long as it follows the logic of a forward-moving train, as shown in video 0.
Accepted styles: 2D, 3D, rotoscoping, stop motion, cutout, painted animation…
No AI-generated content — we value handmade artistry.
All videos will be compiled into a professionally edited global film.
The 3 best clips will receive cash prizes and special recognition.

GOROA
There are places in the world where the rain doesn’t just fall — it inspires. Where every drop carries ideas, emotions, and stories yet to be told. GOROA is that place. A festival born from the desire to nurture the new, the bold, the independent. A global movement that goes beyond screening short films — it aims to reveal voices, create legacies, and celebrate creative freedom in its purest form.
From May 12 to August 25, filmmakers from every corner of the globe will be able to submit their work to the first edition of GOROA – International Short Film Festival, hosted by CoffeeChroma Studios. The event will take place in October 2025, with screenings in Brazil, Germany, England, the United States, Argentina, and Japan, bringing together the most passionate new voices in cinema for an unforgettable celebration.
About the Festival
GOROA is a window to the world. An open door for talents who haven’t yet had their space, for stories that challenge norms, for visual forms that break conventions. If your short film carries identity, soul, and courage, it belongs here.
GOROA is about roots that sprout from wet soil, about films that grow from instinct, risk, and truth. This is the stage where cinematic independence blooms.

Submissions open from May 12 to May 30, and films may be sent until August 25.
