[@TheFruitJar]

We're planning on making Blu-rays of the film soon so look forward to updates on our Instagram and community tab!

[@HenrySimmons1225]

Cool 😎

[@done.productions1655]

How much would one cost?

[@MedioPlague]

If you flip the cover art, it could have the Rodrick’s guide to Anarchy

When Greg realized that Fregley was Fregnant, I cried. It was beautiful.

That film made me had to stifle my laugh at like 11pm. My God the closet scene and the pregnancy... loved every second. And I loved every second the Rodrick actor was there. He's so charismatic and the hair adds ☆flavour☆ Absolutely incredible job, love love love love it. From a theatre kid.

I’m a sophomore in high school and I respect you guys so much for putting yourselves out there and being yourselves. Ever since I was young I’ve been obsessed with making movies and stories but I’ve never really put myself out there because tbh I’m shy. Y’all are doing everything that I’m too scared to do and I’m honestly really happy 🥲

Was this move accurate to your freshman year?

[@Hackymac]

This was an excellent inclusion on the insight and brilliant, yet tragic mind to the actor, comedian extraordinaire MacGregor Lakes. He always comes to the table with something witty, hilarious, and overall excellent to say. It can be said, that without him, this would have been a much weaker product all around. He is also a devilishly handsome rogue, who deserves all of his flowers. I think we can all agree, we love MacGregor Lakes.

nah he kinda sucked as Jeff Kinney

It sucks that as a result of the original being taken down it has less views than it otherwise would of had, but the film was amazing. It's one of my favorite fan films if not my favorite. You guys seem very passionate and you're all hilarious. Keep up the great work, I can't wait to see your next projects!

[@legometaworld2728]

Honestly I was shocked by how much I loved this and learning how it was made was also enjoyable- the poker scene was hilarious and probably my favorite part so I was looking forward to the BTS on that the most. On an unrelated note I swear I’ve seen the actor who plays Rodrick in this before, he had the same eyebrow and everything.

[@aterix_1193]

by far the most creative no budget film iv'e ever seen,keep it up.

wait... you rerecorded the audio for the cemetery? like dubbed it? I had zero clue that it was lip synced and I've watched it three times now! I've tried dubbing audio before and it has to be super spot on or else it's usually pretty obvious. great job!
