Crystal Delahanty wrote it, I directed it, Mackenzie Condon produced it, Nathan Russell shot it and Matt Mayer edited it. It stars Tim Martin and Mike Still who both did a great job delivering some difficult lines.

Also, a big thanks to the Abracadabra Superstore for letting us use their store. They were great to us, everyone should buy a fake gun from them.

Albert: Don’t you see?

Beth: That stands for chlorofluorocarbons.

David: Chloroflurocarbons created the hole in our ozone layer.

DATE RAPE DRUGS!

Chris: But you guys worked so hard creating ironic acronyms that you were clearly more interested in being clever than being successful.

Anthony: Oh, good point.

David: Now I regret changing my name from Hank.
