This DVD contains 8 short FanEdits that follow the "Show, Don't Tell" rule of storytelling.
Intention:
Once again faneditors reunite to bring you several short fanedits following a specific theme.
This time the rules were:
- No dialogue, no spoken words (except in very rare cases, but should not be understandable).
- No text cards with dialogue.
- No text cards telling what happens or what happened.
- 15 minutes max.

The Journey of Superman didn't do it for me.
Neg's edit is awesome!

I thought this was a great collection. Interesting concept and some very well done shorts. Lots of fun to participate in and watch. Easily one of my favourite consecutions. Standouts are The List, Schism and Death Tango.
