A brash Italian reporter who has faced down the world's most powerful interview subjects meets her match in Hollywood, where the target this time refuses to be caught: Marilyn Monroe.
What is A Cup of Coffee with Marilyn about?
A Cup of Coffee with Marilyn is built around a single premise, played out in short form: an Italian journalist known for landing interviews with the most powerful people on the planet gets sent to Hollywood to chase down her most elusive subject yet. Marilyn Monroe, guarded and unpredictable, keeps slipping away from the pursuit, turning what should be a straightforward assignment into a comic study of persistence versus celebrity. Alessandra Gonnella directs the Italian short, led by Miriam Leone in the reporter role, with Sam Hoare and Jamie Wilkes rounding out the cast. At under twenty minutes, the film moves briskly, using its brief runtime to sketch the chase rather than dwell on it, and leaning on tone and timing more than plot mechanics.

It was released in 2019 and directed by Alessandra Gonnella, whose short-form approach favors a tight, single-scenario setup over a sprawling plot, keeping the focus squarely on the mismatch between an unstoppable interviewer and an uncatchable subject.
