Mockumentary in Film 202 class

Austin by the pool in "Los Angelos"

I'm fairly certain that most of the students in Film 202 had fun AND learned things while improvising a mockumentary in class this afternoon. These sorts of things can go either way and today the full moon must have been shining on us because secrets were kept, characters become complex, and even I had a difficult time not laughing. The central idea was that one student wanted to play the role of a successful version of himself, ten years in the future. I said that everyone else in the class would take on roles I gave them (very thin sketches) who were part of his rise to fame. I learned a new word: "LORNO".
