DC Pierson is seeking to adapt his novel The Boy Who Couldn’t Sleep And Never Had To along with his team Dan Eckman and Meggie McFadden into a feature length film. In the quest to do so, he has made this nice short film as a proof-of-concept to show how great a film of his book following a kid discovering that he can make things in a comic book appear in real life can be.

You might notice that that’s Tony Revolori, Zero from The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Jack Quaid in a short that could double as a pretty great teaser. 

So, Internet, do what you do best and let the word spread and, hopefully, the powers that be will take note and make a full fledged movie.
