I got it straight from Mark Carter. It took some serious internet detective work.

I saw this short film online in 2000/2001, somewhere in there. Pure awesomeness. Props for casting a Fargo actress!!

Love this short. Classic SciFi channel short film, which I had been looking for for years. Thanks for posting! I have a question though, what are the actual lyrics to the song? The initial teacher's reaction is funny, as if she is not sure about what Roger is saying.

@gwaland Same here. I remember seeing it on AtomFilms years ago, really loved it, but could not find it until it showed up on YouTube. I am happy to see it again! It is such a great film.

My god my dads name is Roger Mead and he has been a guitar instructor for over 30 years. I have to show him this. Ohh and it is also true that he has lived in a very small town his whole life but in Nebraska. LOL
