Taylor and J.T. are middle school students, the age when boys are flooded with testosterone and are still easily impressed by what they see on TV and the internet. When the screen says "Don't try this at home," that registers as a challenge instead of a plain English command. Their attempts to recreate a stunt they saw in a video land them in "Xtremesylvania," a place that belongs only to those who take insane risks. But is Xtremesylvania a version of the afterlife, or a dream, or is it a hallucination spurred by a concussion? Is it real or imaginary, or maybe just a plot device? Your opinion will change as you watch the story unfold.
Charlie Hankin (previously at Neatorama) brings us the short film Xtremesylvania to get a look inside what young men go through trying to prove themselves to the world, to their own self, and to their peers. -via the Awesomer
