Saving Ryan's Privates

Want to make a short film but can't afford to get caught up with all that cumbersome backstory? You could follow the lead of countless upcoming comedy writers: piggyback off a Hollywood blockbuster for easy, timely laughs. By way of example, catch "Saving Ryan's Privates," a hilariously sophomoric romp that follows a special squad dispatched to reunite a soldier with the G.I. Johnson gone AWOL.
