		"Karate Film Cafe is the best anti-depressant one could think of. (The side-effects are most pleasant.) Even if you arrive quite miserable you're guaranteed to leave the cinema a happier person!" H.P. Daniels, Der Tagesspiegel, Berlin

In Hollywood, California, on the corner of Hollywood & Vine, we find a Karate School with a weird type of karate, a DVD store with movies that nobody wants, and a Café with the world's worst cook. Add to the story a crazy Italian with a deadly secret; a musician with terrible allergies; a computer nerd who thinks everyone is in love with her, and you have 90 minutes of love, death, bad food and good music: KARATE FILM CAFÉ.

Karate Film Café was shot in Los Angeles on a soundstage in Korea Town. Cast and crew flew in from The Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, France and Germany to come together for this
international labor of love. They built the sets, lived together, ate together, with hardly a day off, and created a truly independent film. Bright Blue Gorilla's goal is to make uplifting art and
bring out the best in each other which happened big-time during the KFC shoot.
