Yen's pointless stories

Finally here we provide you two episodes of Yen's pointless stories web series translated into English. Excuse us, please, for the delay and enjoy this absurd embarrassment along with those episodes that don't need translation at all! Thank you for wasting your time!

Episode 3: Mothman
A short documentary on a guy who met face to face the legendary mythological creature Mothman. Or.. did he? Anyways you'll get to see official trailer for a film on Mothman based on one of many unreleased scripts by the cult b-movie director known under alias Muscle Strong. Too bad the film is unlikely to be released. Ever.

Episode 5: For 25 cents
Have you ever wondered what can you buy in Czech Republic for 25 cents? No? Well, we did and so we made this pilot of a never-to-be-greenlit show in which we unfortunately can't say the names of any products or stores. But that doesn't matter! You'll still get many thoughtful reviews, tips and so much more - as usual in this kind of videos you are probably never gonna watch again.

And as promised here are the episodes without dialogue or with English titles already in-video:
Episode 2: Midnight Madness
Episode 7: Friday Men, monster hunters
Episode 8: Blood donation

Korespondence

Dark clouds are gathering over Kafkaesque Prague. An ill mother receives a strange letter that makes her think about consequences of her approaching death. Is it just a feverish nightmare or a vision of inevitable future that will affect her daughter?

Film was created as an “exterior project“ of 2^nd class on Independent Film College in Písek. The shooting took place in the center of Prague, for three days, with limited crew and only using natural light.
