TIPPING POINT
Riley is a socially-awkward barista who is crushing hard on Piper, an attractive customer who always seems to over-tip. Despite encouragement from Brad, their outgoing coworker, they don't think they stand a chance. When they see her performing at a burlesque show, they are given the opportunity to overcome their shyness and tell her how they really feel.
In 2015, Jake Ivany and Steph Young were accepted into the FILM 5 program through the Atlantic Filmmakers Cooperative, giving them the opportunity to develop an idea about a barista and a burlesque performer. After months of script rewrites and workshops, Tipping Point was selected as one of four films to go into production in 2016. The short film was shot on location in Halifax at Plan B and Menz & Mollyz Bar with an incredible crew and spectacular local cast.
