"Tuesday Morning Coffee" is a 75 minute digital feature movie with a script loosely based on a true story, and was developed in the community of Delavan, Minnesota. This script was a winner in the Minnesota Blockbuster McKnight Film Development Fund Grant in 1996. It was filmed in Delavan in 1999, casting locals to star in the movie and they're actually quite good! It's humorous and light and a valentine to a dying lifestyle-- celebrating "community" in a way sadly lacking in so much of today's media. The whole family can enjoy it! When 15 year old Pookie is sent to live with her grandmother in Delavan she has no idea of the adventure she will be undertaking. It all happens on a Tuesday in southern Minnesota when several farmer's wives get together to check up on gossip..... and ends with a funeral.
This independent film is currently in "rough cut" form, and was screened in Delavan (June 14th & 16th, 2002) during their 125th Anniversary Celebration. On the July 17th news, Channel KEYC12 (Mankato) said "...after three years, this funny, ...homage to small-town Delavan life is finally being shown to its stars- the people of Delavan." The Mankato Free Press, on July 17th, 2002 stated that the 500 people "...audience was...highly receptive to the film, as ... was the cast...who as it turned out acted remarkably well."
