In the fall of 2013, filmmaker
B. P. Paquette gave a 3-day acting-on-screen workshop (titled, somewhat mischievously, "Adult Film Acting") in a movie theatre for the
Sudbury Theatre Centre. Working with a professional crew, Paquette shot over 90 hours of material. "I was expecting this to be a learning experience and when I went through the class I thought I sucked — I was convinced that I had blown it," said Larry Schaffer, one of the students who appears in the film. "It's so cool that this is a movie now, we had no idea that this was going on." Marie Whitehead was another one of the 35 students who thought she had just signed up for an acting class. "I think it's a brilliant idea, it was such a great experience," said Whitehead. "I had no idea that this would become a movie." The reaction was unanimous when Paquette first showed it to them, after a year of editing. "I invited them all in for a private screening at
Thorneloe University and when the film came on it was like all of their jaws dropped at the same time to see themselves on the screen," said Paquette. "These were people that didn't really know each other coming in and when the film was on they were all laughing together." This film marks Mathieu Séguin's debut as cinematographer on a feature film. He conceived the visual design with
Ivan Gekoff, with whom he has worked as assistant camera. ==Festival recognition==
