  A Quirky, interesting little piece
  A review of Utopia Found (The Epiphanies of Elmer Lang, Vol 1)

  This short film was quirky but interesting. It seemed part montage, part stand up (or should I say sit down) comedy, part performance art. Mr. Lang had some good social commentary in this modern society of ours which will surely drive us crazy if we let it, or even not let it or think about it too much. Yes, "Justice has been Swerved" aplenty in this world.

  What?

  I don't see how this is a short film, there was no story, just a guy rambling on. Perhaps I'm just not the target audience, but I would have at least thought that I could understand what you were trying to achieve with this piece. I was incredibly bored throughout, also for a comedy, it was not funny.

  Once again I learned something new today. The meaning of Utopia, (no where)I didn't know that. That means that H.G.Wells and others were (no where) Socialist. I liked the use of old news footage, it served to give the piece movement. I think they should change the name of triggerstreet to Elmer Street. I've seen so many of your shorts here. Keep up the good work. I like how... Once again I learned something new today. The meaning of Utopia, (no where)I didn't know that. That means that H.G.Wells and others were (no where) Socialist.

Keep up the good work. I like how you take something static, shots of yourself in your room, and make it active. See you later Mr. Lang and no I won't be your banna cream pie. read

  That was nonsensical. I honestly have no idea what your message was meant to be. I feel like that was more of a Vlog then an actual short. I wish I knew what the hell it meant but honestly I was lost and I feel like I don't understand your style of filmmaking. Sorry man, I really am not feeling any of it. Perhaps try something with a story to it.

  ALL ABOARD!

  All abord what? The Elmer Lang train? Already on it. Utophia Found is full of laughs. More dark comedy than anything. Elmer you know which ones are screwed up and yet we laughed due to your commentary. That's what I love. Major props on the late-80s 'Colors' inspired west coast gang banging hip hop beat. I started realizing that I've been assigned quite a few films from... All abord what? The Elmer Lang train? Already on it.

  I started realizing that I've been assigned quite a few films from you over the past month or so, so I did a little cruise your page only to learn that you have 44 SUBMISSIONS!!! WHOA. Very impressive. It means I have a long way to go before laughs come to a cease on TS.

  I just didn't get it
  A review of Utopia Found (The Epiphanies of Elmer Lang, Vol 1)
  by pure milk genius on 05/07/2012
  I couldn't even understand what the premise was, other than maybe to make the viewer feel confused or uncomfortable. A collection of random thoughts and images without any interesting visual work. It seems it's supposed to be stylized somehow, as the description says the editing is meant to be jumpy; but it doesn't seem to serve any purpose. So, unless it's somehow supposed...

It seems it's supposed to be stylized somehow, as the description says the editing is meant to be jumpy; but it doesn't seem to serve any purpose. So, unless it's somehow supposed to be a commentary on the odd things people put out in vlogs (as that's what it looks like), I just didn't get it. read

  Not my taste
  A review of Utopia Found (The Epiphanies of Elmer Lang, Vol 1)
  by Graham Rathlin on 05/06/2012
  This is my first review on here and I was hoping I could offer a little constructive feedback but it's a struggle to think of what to say about this film. As Mr. Lang admits, he doesn't give a f**k for filmic conventions. Which is his right. Unfortunately I do and when I watch something that falls outside of those conventions, unless it's incredibly innovative in a way I find... This is my first review on here and I was hoping I could offer a little constructive feedback but it's a struggle to think of what to say about this film. As Mr. Lang admits, he doesn't give a f**k for filmic conventions. Which is his right. Unfortunately I do and when I watch something that falls outside of those conventions, unless it's incredibly innovative in a way I find entertaining or educational, I simply turn off. (I've seen many unconventional films in underground cinema venues and enjoyed them btw, even though it's not what I want to do). This film just didn't do anything for me. Found myself waiting for it to end. Sorry Elmer. No doubt there will be many people who feel differently. read

  Awesome!

  I have no clue what I just watched in this film, but it was entertaining and made me laugh, which I like to do, so it accomplished it's goal. The actor is funny in an older Ferris Bueller meets Colin Cowherd type manner, he has funny expressions and comedic delivery, and I have to say I'd watch more volumes of Elmer Lang epiphanies. Kudos on this! Keep um coming.

  Mmm... Banana Cream Pie!

  Utopia Found (The Epiphanies of Elmer Lang, Vol 1) was enjoyable, funny and insightful. As always, ideas and the videos he makes, really are thought provoking. You certainly cannot watch them by any half measure, and once you listen to his words and what he is putting out there, you certainly won't WANT to listen with any half measure either.

  An epiphany lost and found

  Hiya. Your style is consistent, recognisable and unique, but sometimes a bit difficult to catch on to. I like the idea of the series of epiphanies, taken completely out of context. However it was only clear to me that it was a series because the synopsis said so. There seemed to be no consistent connection between the epiphanies in either style or content. It was also very...

  I like the idea of the series of epiphanies, taken completely out of context. However it was only clear to me that it was a series because the synopsis said so. There seemed to be no consistent connection between the epiphanies in either style or content. It was also very unclear to me when you started a new epiphany. I'm not a fan of prechewing everything for the viewer, but because the text was so unclear, a bit of distinction in the visuals would have helped. I liked however, that you switched settings at a certain point.
  
  Also, I would not have used shots from what I assume is an extermination camp so boldly out of context, for your own purpose.
  
  Lots of fun wished in your future work! read
