    This film is included on a DVD entitled "Shorts: Volume Three". Oddly, I have seen volume One already and Three is definitely much better--though both are worth finding for lovers of short films like myself.

    A group of very nerdy teens and pre-teens are apparently making an epic movie--or so they have envisioned their little video project. The fact that they take it all so seriously is pretty cute and the supposedly great props and special effects are so lame that they're funny.

    Had I not already seen several films that seem rather similar, I probably would have loved this film--though it is cute and well worth seeing. The script is slow but funny and you can't help but laugh at the complete ineptitude coupled with their belief that this would be a film to rival STAR WARS and other great epics.
