The Black Horse of the Blog World

This video has got to be one of the best things ever.  A couple of guys sit down with a kid who tells a story.  They ask the kid questions about the story as it goes on, and they take the story and make an incredible film version of it.  This is the first of a series, and I hope they are all this good.  The short film stars Dave Foley and Joss Whedon and Kate Micucci.  Encouraging this kid to be creative, and then helping turn that into a short film is just incredible.  We need more of this where the internet supports people instead of taking them down.
