The Library

Let's find "Love" between the lines together.

From mydramalist.com:

The Library (2012)
Drama, Romance

How do you woo a woman in a library where talking is frowned upon? Jim (Ananda Everingham) begins to frequent his local library after he becomes smitten with the beautiful librarian, Ann (Selina Wiesmann), who works there. Unable to talk freely, Jim tries to woo her by leaving her notes inside of the library books he borrows. But when Ann finds the notes only after Jim stops coming to the library, will it be too late? "The Library" is a 2014 Thai short film.

From student-weekly.com:

Libraries are generally where people go to read, study and gain knowledge or information. But in the new short film The Library, it becomes a setting for a romantic story.

In The Library, Jim (Ananda Everingham) visits a library often because he has fallen for a beautiful librarian named Ann, played by 21-year-old model and actress Selina Wiesmann (Se). Because they meet in the library where they have to stay quiet, Jim tries to communicate with Ann by leaving messages in books.

The 20-minute film is due to be released on Mono Group websites and YouTube on August 29.

Student Weekly recently met up with Se at our office to chat about her first lead acting role and her work on the TV sports show, Sanae Geela (Charm of Sport).

Student Weekly: Do you enjoy reading in real life?

Se: I enjoy reading various kinds of fiction books, from fantasy to mystery and crime. I used to like Sophie Kinsella's books like Confessions of a Shopaholic, but she doesn't release books very often these days.

Student Weekly: Did your experience working in TV ads and on Charm of Sport help you to act in The Library?

Se: Yes. Those experiences helped me get used to the cameras, so I didn't feel nervous when they were filming.

Student Weekly: How do you feel about your first leading role?

Se: I'm thrilled. I did whatever I could to make the film as good as possible.

Student Weekly: Did you have to adjust yourself much to play the librarian character?

Se: Ann is similar to me because she's quiet, but she also has a sense of humour. I had to get used to the funny scenes because I'd never tried comedy before. I learned about getting the timing right for a gag.

Student Weekly: What was it like working with Ananda?

Se: I'd worked with him before in the movie Happy Birthday, as well as on a TV commercial. He's a nice, down-to-earth person. Watching him working professionally is a great way to learn about acting. Ananda is a great actor. I wish I could be as good as him!

Student Weekly: How do you feel about leaving messages in books like Jim does in the film?

Se: It's very romantic, but it's the kind of idea that could fail if you didn't plan it well.

Student Weekly: Do you have a favourite scene in the film?

Se: I like the scenes where I act with Pompam, who plays my co-worker in the library. He's so hilarious. I had a great time working with him.

Student Weekly: Where there any difficult scenes?

Se: The emotional scenes were tough, especially the crying scenes. It didn't take me long to cry because the script is very sad, but I had to work on the same scenes many times so that they could film from different angles. My eyes were swollen after crying so much.

Student Weekly: Since you work on a sports show, do you have a favourite sport?

Se: Because of Charm of Sport, I meet many athletes and have the opportunity to try lots of different sports. I recently tried Kendo, the Japanese martial art. It was interesting to learn about its history.

Student Weekly: Why should everybody check out The Library online?

Se: If you like romance, comedy and drama, you will like this movie!

Night in the Library - Teaser Trailer
February 1, 2010

The first "official" trailer for the Christendom College Film Club's most ambitious project to date. I apologize for the lack of real substance in this trailer, as at this point we have, at most, maybe a little less then half the footage needed already shot. However, we are hopeful that the coming semester will be extremely productive and will result in the completion of the film before the end of the school year. I hope this first tiny glimpse will help maintain people's interest in the project.

A special thanks to everyone who has already helped with this project in some way, whether it be by helping to haul equipment around, actually playing a part in a scene, or everything in between.

From christendom.edu:

There are many clubs on campus, but out of all of them, the Film Club is one that gets the whole campus involved. Though all the students may not participate in the making of the films, they all benefit from the entertainment produced.

Chris Foeckler and Caroline Deucher are co-presidents, and operate the club together. While theirs are the only official positions, the club is a "project to project" club. Essentially, when a project comes up, cast, members, etc., are chosen by the group.

Brian Pelletier is the current official camera man. The Film Club has been in existence since 2005, and its first film was The Perils of Being an Author, which is a story of an author whose characters come alive and berate him about his book.

Chris and Brian say that this movie was actually an indirect inspiration for their first full length film they are working on: Night in the Library (which is also a spin-off of Night in the Museum). None of the members have attempted a project of this magnitude before, so they are all incredibly excited about the whole experience of putting down the groundwork for actually making a movie.

Brian says that the group is "still in its infancy stage" and really just focusing on growing slowly and producing more projects that will attract people to join, as well as increasing the professionalism of the club.

"We are trying to create a group for people who want to get some experience with film, especially those who are interested in going into film as a future," Sophomore Chris Foeckler says. "We are hoping to gradually turn into a club that more systematically, professionally, and corporately approaches film making, while still retaining the sense of fun."

Chris and Brian summed it up by saying, "Film is an extremely powerful medium. If a picture speaks a thousand words, and you have 35 frames a second, thirty five thousand words a second—how much does that turn out to be in a movie? It's extremely powerful. Our goal is to produce a project that can help the film club to grow, and provide a great opportunity for people who want to get a good Catholic education, and also want to get experience in filming, without selling their soul to Hollywood. We want to be something else Christendom can say it does to help develop students and their talents, and really encounter the Faith and the Truth."

West Oak Lane Library
presents

Overdue Books

[scene opens with two teenage boys walking outside of the West Oak Lane branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia]
PATRON 1: I can't wait to go in there and read a comic book!
PATRON 2: I know, right? Let's go, come on!
[cut to inside of the library, where the two speak with the teenage girl playing the librarian (hair pulled back in a ponytail, glasses, white shirt, blue jeans)]
PATRON 2: Where are the comic books?
[she replies in a deadpan monotone, pointing off camera]
LIBRARIAN: It's over there.
[they walk off, then cut to the two sitting on the floor reading comic books]
PATRON 2: Check this out, look how Nightcrawler teleports like that! Isn't that awesome?
PATRON 1: Yeah, I know, right?
PATRON 2: Oh my gosh ... Wait, what're you reading?
PATRON 1: I'm reading about the Green Lantern.
PATRON 2: DC? Marvel rocks!
[cut to a teenage girl walking up to the librarian's desk and handing her a book]
PATRON 3: Sorry this book is overdue.
[cut to a closeup of the librarian's face, as she again responds in a deadpan monotone]
LIBRARIAN: I don't like overdue books.
[cut to the patron, who just smirks]
PATRON 3: Whatever ...
[she walks off, then cut to the librarian picking up a large copy of the Oxford English Dictionary]
[cut to the librarian following closely behind the patron as ominous music plays, then she lifts up the dictionary and is about to bring it down on the patron's head when the screen quickly cuts to black]
[cut back to the two boys (now sitting in chairs) reading comic books, when they look up at the apparent noise]
PATRON 1: Did you hear that?
[the other boy dramatically whips off his glasses (which he hadn't been wearing before) and leans in close to his friend]
PATRON 2: Did you hear something?
PATRON 1: Yeah.
PATRON 2: I think it was the librarian ...
PATRON 1: Yeah, me too.
PATRON 2: Okay. We gotta watch out for her.
[cut to a shot of the (dead?) patron's feet sticking out from behind a bookshelf, then to the librarian slowly walking through the library (grabbing at her head as if she's losing her mind) while the two boys follow her]
[cut to the two boys confronting the librarian]
PATRON 2: We know you committed those crimes!
PATRON 1: We know you did it!
PATRON 2: We know you killed her!
LIBRARIAN: I did kill her ...
PATRON 2: You did?
LIBRARIAN: Yes, I did. I don't like overdue books.
["Moments later ... " appears on screen, then cut to a teenage girl playing the police officer]
POLICEWOMAN: You have the right to remain silent, you're under arrest.
[another girl takes the librarian and puts her hands behind her back, as they lead her out of the library]
PATRON 2: We finally caught the librarian killer ...
[they shake hands]
PATRON 2: It was a pleasure working with you!

SEVYN: Gosh ...
[the top part of the envelope sticks to her finger, and she tries to shake it off]
SEVYN: Eww ...
[she takes out the letter, then cut to a closeup of its contents]

Memorial Library

Dear Sevyn,
You have an overdue library book in which we would like to have returned. This book must be returned along with the amount of money due for its absence from the library for so long. If you do not have the book, then the payment due will be added to the amount of what the book initially costs. The book initially costs $16.25. Your amount due is listed below in bold:

$15.10

We would appreciate that you return the book and payment as soon as possible. Payment goes up 10 cents a day that it is missing from the library. Thank you for your cooperation.

[the camera zooms in on the amount of the fine, then cut back to the girl with a shocked look on her face]
SEVYN: Fifteen dollars? For a stupid book!? Oh no ...
[she sighs and shakes her head]
SEVYN: No, this is ... I don't even remember taking a book out! I'm going to that library right now!
[she walks off camera, then cut to a young female librarian (brown hair in a bun, flower in her hair, glasses, grey cardigan sweater, white blouse, long black skirt) shelving books in the library, as the girl approaches her with the letter]
SEVYN: Um, excuse me ...
[the librarian turns to the girl, puts a finger to her lips, and violently shushes her]
LIBRARIAN: Shhh!
SEVYN: [whispers] Excuse me ...
LIBRARIAN: [whispers] Yes?
SEVYN: I got this in the mail today, and it says I owe a lotta money but I never took this book out.
[the librarian takes the letter and quickly looks it over]
LIBRARIAN: Yes you do.
[she smiles and gives the letter back, as the girl gets a confused look on her face]
SEVYN: But ... I never took the book.
LIBRARIAN: Well ... I'd love to help you, but it's my lunch break.
[she points at her wrist (she's not wearing a watch), then starts to walk away]
LIBRARIAN: So ... good luck with that!
SEVYN: Wait ...
[cut to outside of the library, as the girl follows the librarian]
SEVYN: Wait, I don't owe a book!

SEVYN: I don't have a quarter! Or a book!
[she runs after the librarian, then cut to the interior of a car, as the girl pops up from the backseat]
SEVYN: I don't owe a book!
[the camera pans over to show another girl (not the librarian) is sitting in the driver's seat]
CAR OWNER: What're you doing in my car?!
SEVYN: Oh, um, sorry ... Wrong car.
[she pops back down, then gets up again]
SEVYN: Y'know, um ... Can you give me a ride home?
CAR OWNER: Get outta my car!
[she opens the door and gets out]
SEVYN: Sorry! I just live, like, a mile away--
CAR OWNER: I don't care!
SEVYN: Please?
CAR OWNER: No! Just go!
[she dejectedly walks away]
CAR OWNER: My god!
[cut to the librarian in her kitchen, eating a piece of pie, when the girl pops up and sticks her face on the window]
SEVYN: I don't owe a book!
LIBRARIAN: Yes you do, you psycho stalker! Go away!
[she walks off, as the librarian grumbles to herself before trying to continue eating]
[cut to another shot of the librarian as she's about to take a bite, when the girl (now once again holding the letter) walks into her kitchen]
SEVYN: I don't owe this book!
LIBRARIAN: Y'know what?
[she drops her fork on the plate in anger, then grabs the letter]
LIBRARIAN: Gimmee this! Gimmee this!
[she rips up the letter and throws the pieces in the girl's face]
LIBRARIAN: Y'know what? You don't owe a book anymore! Okay? You don't owe a book, you don't owe me money, okay? Just leave me alone!
[the girl smiles]
SEVYN: Thank you!
LIBRARIAN: But you still owe this book ...
[the librarian pulls out another piece of paper and hands it to the girl, who starts reading with a look of confusion on her face]
[cut to a closeup of the girl's face, as the "needle skipping off the record" sound effect plays]
SEVYN: Four hundred and thirty eight dollars?! That's worse than before!
LIBRARIAN: Don't you remember taking that one out?
[the girl stares off into the distance, as the sounds of a harp playing can be heard (signifying a flashback), then cut to the librarian shelving books when an even younger girl walks up to her with a copy of "Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too"]
YOUNG SEVYN: This is the book I wanna take out.
[the librarian smiles and takes the book]
LIBRARIAN: Okay, but don't forget to bring it back.
[she hands the book back]
YOUNG SEVYN: I won't!
[the younger version of the girl walks off camera]
LIBRARIAN: Alright ...

Case Study No. 1989: Staff of Unnamed Library (Anasognosia)

Anosognosia : Illusion of Salvation
1:30
Story:
This video is inspired from Bertrand Russell's short story, The Theologian's Nightmare.


Script:
A theologian dreamt that he died.
He thought he was prepared and had no difficulty in finding his way.
As he was pursuing his course toward heaven, he was not recognized at the gate.
He was told that nobody up there has ever heard of the creature called "man".
However, they gave him a chance of consulting their librarian.
Long after, the librarians discovered Milky Way, earth, and at last human.
He devoted his long life to his creator that was not even aware of his existence.

From kent.edu:

The Theologian's Nightmare
by Bertrand Russell
from Fact and Fiction, 1961

The eminent theologian Dr. Thaddeus dreamt that he died and pursued his course toward heaven. His studies had prepared him and he had no difficulty in finding the way. He knocked at the door of heaven, and was met with a closer scrutiny than he expected. "I ask admission," he said, "because I was a good man and devoted my life to the glory of God." "Man?" said the janitor, "What is that? And how could such a funny creature as you do anything to promote the glory of God?" Dr. Thaddeus was astonished. "You surely cannot be ignorant of man. You must be aware that man is the supreme work of the Creator." "As to that," said the janitor, "I am sorry to hurt your feelings, but what you're saying is news to me. I doubt if anybody up here has ever heard of this thing you call 'man.' However, since you seem distressed, you shall have a chance of consulting our librarian."

The librarian, a globular being with a thousand eyes and one mouth, bent some of his eyes upon Dr. Thaddeus. "What is this?" he asked the janitor. "This," replied the janitor, "says that it is a member of a species called 'man,' which lives in a place called 'Earth.' It has some odd notion that the Creator takes a special interest in this place and this species. I thought perhaps you could enlighten it." "Well," said the librarian kindly to the theologian, "perhaps you can tall me where this place is that you call 'Earth.'" "Oh," said the theologian, "it's part of the Solar System." "And what is the Solar System?" asked the librarian. "Oh," said the theologian, somewhat disconcerted, "my province was Sacred Knowledge, but the question that you are asking belongs to profane knowledge. However, I have learnt enough from my astronomical friends to be able to tell you that the Solar System is part of the Milky Way." "And what is the Milky Way?" asked the librarian. "Oh, the Milky Way is one of the Galaxies, of which, I am told, there are some hundred million." "Well, well," said the librarian, "you could hardly expect me to remember one out of so many. But I do remember to have heard the word galaxy' before. In fact, I believe that one of our sub-librarians specializes in galaxies. Let us send for him and see whether he can help."

After no very long time, the galactic sub-librarian made his appearance. In shape, he was a dodecahedron. It was clear that at one time his surface had been bright, but the dust of the shelves had rendered him dim and opaque. The librarian explained to him that Dr. Thaddeus, in endeavoring to account for his origin, had mentioned galaxies, and it was hoped that information could be obtained from the galactic section of the library. "Well," said the sub-librarian, "I suppose it might become possible in time, but as there are a hundred million galaxies, and each has a volume to itself, it takes some time to find any particular volume. Which is it that this odd molecule desires?" "It is the one called 'The Milky Way,'" Dr. Thaddeus falteringly replied. "All right," said the sub- librarian, "I will find it if I can."

Some three weeks later, he returned, explaining that the extraordinarily efficient card index in the galactic section of the library had enabled him to locate the galaxy as number QX 321,762. "We have employed," he said, "all the five thousand clerks in the galactic section on this search. Perhaps you would like to see the clerk who is specially concerned with the galaxy in question?" The clerk was sent for and turned out to be an octahedron with an eye in each face and a mouth in one of them. He was surprised and dazed to find himself in such a glittering region, away from the shadowy limbo of his shelves. Pulling himself together, he asked, rather shyly, "What is it you wish to know about my galaxy?" Dr. Thaddeus spoke up: "What I want is to know about the Solar System, a collection of heavenly bodies revolving about one of the stars in your galaxy. The star about which they revolve is called 'the Sun.'" "Humph," said the librarian of the Milky Way, "it was hard enough to hit upon the right galaxy, but to hit upon the right star in the galaxy is far more difficult. I know that there are about three hundred billion stars in the galaxy, but I have no knowledge, myself, that would distinguish one of them from another. I believe, however, that at one time a list of the whole three hundred billion was demanded by the Administration and that it is still stored in the basement. If you think it worth while, I will engage special labor from the Other Place to search for this particular star."

It was agreed that, since the question had arisen and since Dr. Thaddeus was evidently suffering some distress, this might be the wisest course.

Several years later, a very weary and dispirited tetrahedron presented himself before the galactic sub-librarian. "I have," he said, "at last discovered the particular star concerning which inquiries have been made, but I am quite at a loss to imagine why it has aroused any special interest. It closely resembles a great many other stars in the same galaxy. It is of average size and temperature, and is surrounded by very much smaller bodies called 'planets.' After minute investigation, I discovered that some, at least, of these planets have parasites, and I think that this thing which has been making inquiries must be one of them."

At this point, Dr. Thaddeus burst out in a passionate and indignant lament: "Why, oh why, did the Creator conceal from us poor inhabitants of Earth that it was not we who prompted Him to create the Heavens? Throughout my long life, I have served Him diligently, believing that He would notice my service and reward me with Eternal Bliss. And now, it seems that He was not even aware that I existed. You tell me that I am an infinitesimal animalcule on a tiny body revolving round an insignificant member of a collection of three hundred billion stars, which is only one of many millions of such collections. I cannot bear it, and can no longer adore my Creator." "Very well," said the janitor, "then you can go to the Other Place."

Here the theologian awoke. "The power of Satan over our sleeping imagination is terrifying," he muttered.
