Story
A son remembers a woman who loved instant coffee and who may or may not have enjoyed being a housewife.
Instant Coffee was produced for the 2007 TCF ShortDocs Challenge: Dollar Storeys.
Producer
Dennis Conrow produces the nationally distributed literary program New Letters on the Air, based in Kansas City, Missouri. He is able to perform the following miracles on demand: turning wine into 95% pure water in under two hours; harnessing electricity from the ether in selected, properly-wired locations; and providing, at his own expense, life-saving carbon dioxide to plants and trees everywhere. In contrast to many miracle-workers, Conrow is entirely visible to the naked eye all of the time, except when he is in disguise.
Extra
The Dollar Storeys project invited any/everyone to produce a short audio work inspired by one of three items purchased at a dollar store:
- ceramic mug sporting feisty feminist banter
- 4-pack of wooden mousetraps
- an old-school bicycle bell
Instant Coffee was inspired by the feisty mug.
