Hey Everyone,

Thanks for your feedback! This was just a directing exercise based on the direction the script was being developed in a class called "Script to Screen." Originally the story was set in a garage/basement of the protagonist's house and the actors are in there twenties. We have gone back to the original version.

[Imralu]

LMAO! An Esperanto bully.

XD I want to see this! I'm am so into linguistics and conlangs!

[Rennonz]

Esperanto is an aesthetic nightmare but he blue shirt guy was the best character. The "conlang community" is absolutely full of pretentious elitists who believe that the mark of a good language is how ridiculously complex it is and how many obscure phonemes can be rammed into it. Just visit a conlanging forum and see how abused the people get who post their own simplistic languages that they hope people around the world can use to communicate, because you know, that's the point of language.

I like these actors better than in the original movie.

What did Kip say at 3:31 and 3:49?
