Did you find there was an increase in visitors following the Oscar success of '12 Years a Slave'? Did you have people asking questions about what was depicted in that film? Also, what did you yourself think of that film?

(Great article in Vox, by the way).

Thanks for the response! I think it's good to know insightful movies can make an impact.

Yeah, when I took some classes on slavery at university we were always told to keep in mind abolitionist perspectives when we looked at escaped slave narratives.

Also, I KNEW IT. Benedict Cumberbatch IS a time-traveling slave owning vampire!

Hey Mila!

Seems like no-one has asked yet, but how was working with Jason Segel in Forgetting Sarah Marshall? If someone tried to woo you over with a muppet version of a famous old book in real life, would you find it funny or creepy?

Thanks!
