‘MAMA’ is a mockumentary set in a drama school, centring on the shambolic professional life of new Principal, Olive Bady. The pilot is set in a fictional Drama School, MAMA. Filmed in a mockumentary format, it depicts a ‘typical’ day at a conservatoire and introduces us to key members of staff and new Principal, Olive Bady. Olive is on a mission to ensure the survival of this prestigious institution through the introduction of progressive teaching methods and financial restraint. We watch as Olive attempts to be all things to all people: friend, performer and ‘boss’ with entertaining results.

Return
Return is a methodical construction of the approach of an individual towards an unseen goal, which assumes metaphorical significance. Viola moves toward the camera/viewer, pausing every few steps to ring a bell, at which point he is momentarily thrust back to his starting place, and then advanced again. Finally reaching his destination, he is taken through all of the previous stages in a single instant and returned to the source of his journey.
