User Reviews

Rushmore meets Best in Show

This short film is phenomenal. Brilliant. I had no expectations for Orastories. I had never heard of it, and had no idea what I was about to watch when I clicked the link on Ifilm.

The comedy is smart and classic. The talent is stellar across the board. This group's antics put Mad TV and Saturday Night Live to shame.

I don't know much about the talent collected here, but I intend to find out. Do not miss your chance to sample this new batch of comic genius.

Here's the description from Ifilm:

An improvised sitcom following the students in Thomas Jefferson High School speech and debate and their coach, Mr. D.
