FILM SYNOPSIS

Between Love & Lattes is a Christmas romantic comedy set on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Sophia Hernandez, a fiercely independent Brooklyn-born café owner, has until Christmas Eve to prove her café is the heart of the neighborhood or lose her lease. She strikes a strictly-business deal with Alex Montgomery, a heartbroken songwriter from Queens: he'll run a Friday open mic night to fill her empty evenings, and she'll give him the corner table where he can finally write again. It's a story about starting over in a new city and learning that you can't hold on to what you love by holding it alone.
