I would gladly show you the amateur production I made for the department, but it's currently embargoed. Which is just as well. I had so much fun with the script, shoot, and getting all these people together- students, staff, and faculty included (like I'd do this without trying to recruit Papa)- that I would've been happy doing all that without a finished product. I wonder if filmmakers always get to have this much fun. I wrote some funny lines, got my favorite people together, they happily did what I told them, then I got to futz around, make up prizes, and get a free lunch out of the whole ordeal. And everyone laughed.
At the screening, Papa was characteristically and comically cranky. He and Captain, the two faux department rivals whose classes most people are required to take, bickered like the old couple that they are and we all took sides in our hearts depending on who we TA'ed for in the fall.
Marie: I don't know how you guys do it. I find Prof Papa so awkward to talk to.
Moi: Really? I feel the exact same way about Captain. We never have anything to talk about.

Moi: By the way, I figured out who was behind the video spoof of your lectures.
Max: The one on Oliver's facebook page?
Papa: That's your great sleuthing technique? You saw the post from his page?
Moi: What? No, the link said it was anonymous. I figured it out by ... asking Oliver.
