You’re Not My Father

Danny (DJ’s father) has left Joey in charge of the house, and when DJ comes home late without calling, Joey states that she will be grounded. DJ becomes angry because she doesn’t think Joey has the authority to ground her — especially when she has a karate tournament that weekend.
You’re Not My Father is composed of a sequence of recreations of a 10 second scene from the television show Full House, overlaid with a set of sound loops from the scene’s original music. The crews who re-shot the scene were recruited through Internet message boards and Craigslist.
