This is gonna be the thread where we talk about stuff

What, this one?

Lmao whoops thanks

anyway the dozen kids (including the east-european exchange student) in the 2nd year English Expression elective class have a three-week project to try make a short film in (imo very optimistic) time for the school culture festival.

We divvied them up into two groups so there's a decent chance everyone actually does some work and we still get this finished.

After fifteen minutes of brainstorming they settle on retelling Japanese fairytales, namely Momotaro/Peach Boy and the Tale of Princess Kaguya. By the end of the period this has become a full-on crossover pair of intertwined films, where a vagrant peach wanders through multiple scenes, baby Momotaro guns his way out of the eponymous fruit, and on his adventures befriends assorted fauna of Eastern Europe, more badass than the original version.

I had to go to a separate class in the second half of the lesson but when I left off they were discussing logistics of how to transport the party to the goddamn moon to rescue Princess Kaguya. A bear bodily throwing a wolf into orbit came up and while I'm doubtful they will actually get this published on time I am very hype
