My friends and I made a comedic short film (29 minutes)!

A gripping tale of four dysfunctional members of a neighborhood watch as they try to solve a crime terrorizing their town.
Or something.

A quote overlaid on a river landscape, with rockwork in the foreground. Quote: As the four returned to the plateau, Aizl started to grumble. "Now we make a big show of virtue for the visitors. What nonsense it all is, acting like we are so much better than they are. At least the food will be worth it." Eleg laughed in surprise. Was she joking? Ovvet shushed Aizl. "Leave your complaints in the canyon. You know why we need to model Urmettian virtues for Ervu's peoples." A flash of real anger crossed Aizl's face and Ovvet started back. "Don't tell me not to be annoyed when I'm annoyed," Aizl snapped. Additional captions: A continent of peoples in cooperation. But is all as friendly as it seems?
Quotes from my YA fantasy cli fi, Fire's Ally!
