Coffee Therapy is a strange little film about a day in a coffee shop that becomes a journey through 25 years of psychotherapy.

Darnell Shacklebee, proprietor of Escape the Daily Grind, gets slammed one Saturday when there’s a psychotherapist convention in town.  All of his former therapists pop in for coffee, triggering a trip down memory lane.  The trip includes decades of therapy, family conflict, and misdiagnoses.

This project was made possible through the support of the North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency, the Blumenthal Endowment, and the arts councils in Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Rutherford, and York (SC) counties.

It premiered at the Cackalacky Film Festival on October 21, 2006, and screened a few others…
