Q&A with cast and crew after the film.
Local writer/director Brian Maurer's first feature tells the story of two college faculty struggling to survive the most challenging semester of their lives. Dr. Samuel Kete (Michael Wilson), an acerbic grad school professor who's down on his luck, is ordered by his department to go back to teaching Intro to Literature, while his best friend (Daniel Jordan) realizes he can no longer balance life with his mistress and his troubled marriage. Shot around Columbia and the MU campus, Lit is a frank and funny movie about male mid-life crisis, friendship, and the bonds between teachers and students that often take shape in unexpected ways.
