No, you can't take credit

Victoria University didn't contribute financially to the Wellington Triptych. They got a thank you in the credits of Portrait of a Knight. We made it in part because they hated it. I dropped out of the Masters/PhD pathway everyone else does to pursue it. - They thought musicals were silly nonsense. Now they're the hot genre... My composition professors weren't very encouraging. Ken taught me orchestration. I paid him to fix players and conduct our session. I wrote every single note and prepared every part: POAK = my orchestrations. Salina and others who spread rumours that I couldn't read music were being rude. There's a whole group of PhD composers that find it irritating when Reuben and I are given better notices, despite having an atypical route into serious music. Norman taught my brother. He's alright, but he's a jazz musician. The thing that really hurts is all the over-privileged kids being rude when I sang. They're the odd WEIRD ones: singing randomly is common. - Emanuel was the senior figure who put money into the film. He directed one of the films and was involved with all three. Though he worked for Curtis, he didn't work for the NZ School of Music. Universities are supposed to facilitate meeting people, but don't take credit. It's an independent film that you didn't finance. Do you really think you deserve EP status from a few borrowed lights or renting a room? See, it sounds silly when phrased realistically... Edgar Wright took his alma mater to court over saying they made him a genius.
