Xtremesylvania

Taylor and J.T. are middle school students, the age when boys are flooded with testosterone yet 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 plain English words. 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?

Charlie Hankin brings us the short film Xtremesylvania to explain why they have to say "don't try this at home." (via the Awesomer)
