Comedic Short Film Explores the True Definition of a Photocopier
Los Angeles filmmaker Brett Weiner’s short film “Verbatim” is a dramatization of transcripts from a real-life case from the Ohio Supreme Court, where a lawyer became embroiled in an absurd argument about the definition of a photocopier. The witness in the deposition decided to argue that he had no idea what the term “photocopying machine” actually means and the resulting exchange occurred.
Weiner chanced upon the deposition back in 2012 and thought it was so ridiculous it warranted turning it into a short film, which the New York Times ran as one of their Op-Docs back in April.
