Elevator Pitch
Drift Café is a multimedia storytelling project set in a liminal café where reality blurs with imagination. Guided by its enigmatic host, Michael, each visit offers a doorway into strange, poetic, and surprising stories—ranging from surreal encounters and fantastical adventures to quiet meditations on loneliness, love, and time. The café is not bound by genre or medium: tales appear as written stories, audio plays, and visual creations, all connected by the mysterious warmth of the café itself. Drift Café is less a place to visit than an experience to drift into.
The Drift Cafe is where dreams comes to be heard.
Executive Summary
Drift Café is a narrative universe that reimagines storytelling as an immersive, cross-media experience. Anchored by a recurring setting—a liminal café outside the boundaries of ordinary life—the project blends written fiction, audio performance, and visual storytelling into a cohesive yet ever-shifting anthology.
The café’s host, Michael, serves as a cryptic guide who introduces stories but rarely interferes, creating continuity while preserving each tale’s uniqueness. The stories themselves range from surreal and whimsical to profound and unsettling: a lonely bear searching for companionship, an outlaw’s curse beneath the moon, a spacefarer haunted by ghosts of isolation, and many others.
Drift Café embraces collaboration and interactivity, inviting guest writers, artists, and listeners to shape its evolving mythos. It exists simultaneously as a creative outlet, a community hub, and a platform for stories that resist categorization. By weaving together different genres, media, and voices under one unifying theme, Drift Café positions itself as a distinctive creative brand: a place where the ordinary becomes strange, the strange becomes familiar, and every visitor leaves with more questions than answers.
