I was on a school film set and I was hanging out with my friend (the sound mixer) and the boom operator was there. She’s this very nice Korean girl going to school overseas with us. The faculty member that was our set supervisor comes over to us, and he’s this tall, chubby black dude with a more clear Canadian accent than most of us.

He just stands there for a second and then starts talking to the boom operator in fluent Korean. She got super flustered and caught off guard and had trouble responding (she’s pretty shy as well). Teid
