Lights, Canera, Actopolis!

Wow, that was fast. Thanks for the ping. Hope this gets big enough for a periodical run like WHF. Let me ask one thing though; is an adult comedy eligible for entry? Sex scenes would obviously be censored to adhere to forum rules.

Synopsis of Movie: Talks of the real life story of Yellowists who fought overwhelming odds to survive a violist attack

More in depth:
Ukar Selemani was a Yellowist who was allowed to be great in his faith. It had been months since the rebellion against the Emperor. They had retreated to the mountains, but there was a base to protect them. He had been peaceful, but there was a massive attack on the base and most soldiers surrendered and joined them. Only a few fell back to the city where Ukar and the rest of the people there began tom arm themselves and begin fighting back. For 2 months, they held out even with hunger. And on the last day, there was very few defenders left and it looked like the Violetists would win. But the Army arrived...
