Take two under-employed middle-aged smart-asses and give them microphones and access to web-based recording software. Add the patient and talented cooperation of one of their former students, someone who really has a lot of better things to do, and what do you get but …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stupid Spray<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m putting this first, as it’s my favourite. Shows what you can do with enthusiastic actors, a budget of zero, and a … stupid? idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A brilliant young biochemist finds a way to make aerosol sprays that will temporarily make those who inhale them very much smarter than they were or very much … less smart. And you don’t want to see what happens when you mix them. Except you really do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revenge of the Stupid Spray<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Makes no sense unless you’ve seen the first one above. And maybe not much sense after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An evil genius locks those she blames for her misfortune in a room and challenges them to escape – or miss the music, romance, and especially the pageantry of the Snowball Dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, seriously high stakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Secret Life of John McCrae<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This one was my most successful attempt at involving as many people in as many diverse situations as I could. John McCrae refers to a high school, not the actual person, who may have had a secret life but I doubt it. It’s really several short films about different parts of the JMSS social system and what they do when they think no one is watching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Battle of John McCrae<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Students and teacher go toe to toe. A classroom of cross-purposed competition with play-by-play commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ghost of John McCrae<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This has nothing to do with either ghosts or John McCrae, the historical person. But, it will forever change how you view the universe. And your cell phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strange inhabitants of a parallel universe keep showing up and being weird. Three concerned students find a way to re-boot the universe – with mixed results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
