"You'd be the meanest wife ever, okay?"

He’s called “Loki” by the Norse, “Wisakedjak” by the Cree, and in Russia they just call him “Ivan”—he’s the infamous trickster making good on the adage “anything that can go wrong, will,” and those of you who made it out to Screen on the Green this weekend know he was with us Saturday night.

AMP works with the AV staff at the Sadler Center for almost all of our film events--which is great, because we're not necessarily the most techonologically savy bunch over here on the films committee. For our monthly blockbusters in Commonwealth everything's generally good to go, because the space is used to show films so often. For those screenings, we just test the videos when they come to us and then give them a quick run-through on the equipment before the event. But for events like Screen on the Green or Movies at Matoaka, where we use alternate venues, we make it a rule to set up at least two hours in advance--just to make sure we have enough time to work any unexpected kinks out before you all show up.

Generally this means our screenings run pretty smoothly, but sometimes the unexpected happens. Even though the AV staff had everything up and running by 6 on Saturday, when it came time to start the first film at 8, our techs couldn't get the movie going. As those of you who stuck around know, they were able to bring in new equipment in time to show It's Complicated at 9:45, but we didn't get the chance to show Youth in Revolt. And we can't appologize enough--we really appreciate your support and were so excited that you made it over to Trinkle for the event.

So fear not our fellow Cera-ians, Youth in Revolt will be back THIS Wednesday at 9:15 in the SC Commonwealth. Put down your textbooks and red bull, exams are still a week away, and you deserve a break.

We hope to see you there,
AMP Films
