Let's say you were given a 15 million won budget to make a 10 or so minute short. The crew is supplied along with lighting, a 16mm camera, and other assorted goodies.

And let's say you had been encouraged to make a funny flick containing humorous EFL classroom antics suitable for festival release.

What would the final message of your film be and what student/teacher antics would you use to get to the point?

Hmmm... I'd say just blow the whole budget on booze and Itaewon hookers.

Final message? EFL teachers can't be trusted.

A teacher teaching a 'private' in an internet cafe where he is pontificating on all matters English(or whatever else flits through is pea-brain). You should have him making egregious errors in both pronunciation and factual content. "Pronuonciation is important because there are some states in the USA where you can be thrown in jail for mistakes." or "There are fifty-two states in the USA."

I used to almost chew a hole in my cheek when I heard some of the BS that these 'teachers' spewed out when I was using the computers. (Thank Odin I have one in my apartu now.)

Oh, and at the end of the 'lesson' the teacher makes the students pay for his coffee. No, better yet, he ordered an ice cream sundae or pat bing su -something expensive.

Final message: ESL teachers doing privates can't be trusted.

Not necessarily bad answers, but let me clarify a bit (knowing you both personally I realize it might be to no avail), it's should be comedic and based around a classroom situation.

Do The Office but have it set in a hakwon. Show how absurd the industry really is.

I second this idea. But don't end it the way the season finale went this week: very few EFL teachers deserve that.

And the other problem is that it might need to be a room full of Dwights.

We can learn from the simplicity of how school children solve their disputes.
