A parody commerical from the old Folgers Crystals commercials of the late 80's early 90's. The basic premise of those commercials was to replace someone's traditional coffee with new and improved Folgers Crystals...and to see if they could taste the difference. Here's a little modern (and dark) twist on these staples of Americana.

Originally, this idea was created by DF members Tim Soszko and Buck Zachary. The idea was left for about 3 or 4 months, due to conflicting schedules and final details of the script. During the summer of 2001, Dependent Films was a little behind on getting our content out on the web. One night while sitting at the Illinois Shakespeare Festival housing, a conversation was sparked on how easy it would be to film a "Bolgers" commerical. We decided to challege ourselves and four hours later, "Bolgers" was completed. It will be the first part in a series of commercials with this theme. It was shot with a Canon GL-1 and edited with an iMac DV special edition.
