A story of a young immigrant who knows no English, and his trials in….ordering breakfast at the local diner.
***
Pablo is a young immigrant, new to the United States, and
speaks no English. When he first comes into a diner, not
knowing how to order, he mimics another customer. Thus, a
“coffee and a donut” becomes his regular order.
Meanwhile, more appetizing meals pass in front of him, which he
has to figure out how to order while in a busy environment that
leaves him isolated.
He befriends Camila, an assertive Latina-American, who takes him under her wing while he learns how to start off with the most important meal of the day.
Cary Patrick Martin makes his directorial debut with Coffee and a Donut, with two more films currently in post production. Originally from Syracuse, NY, Cary has been working in the NYC theater/film scene for more than half his life, performing everything from improv to Shakespeare.
Cary has been a student of Ela Thier at the Independent Film School, having also studied with Sande Shurin Acting Studio, and The American Globe Theater, among others. He toured extensively with National Theater of the Performing Arts, was a principle performer/combatant with the New York Renaissance Faire, and a company member of Mortal Folly Theatre. He has also produced charity cabarets to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
When not creating, Cary enjoys long distance running, having completed numerous half and full marathons.
