This piece was created as a submission for the Short Docs Ephemera challenge at the 2008 Third Coast Audio Festival. Producers had specific guidelines: feature length between 2 minutes, 30 second and 3 minutes; reference two of the 5 provided antique books; include the voice of a stranger.
“Six minutes” is a very personal piece - something that was in many ways too close to my heart to tackle at the time. But the Third Coast guidelines provided the structure needed to let me step outside of the subject, if only one very tiny step. - kball
