It began when Geoffrey Boothby and Cullen Thomas, Two aspiring filmmakers, decided create a steampunk version of Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream. Then end result is a nine-part internet series later compiled into a feature-length movie and sold on the same website it originally aired on.

%%* AmnesiaDanger: Sam in the first episode
%%* ArcWords: the sky is infinite

to:

%%* AmnesiaDanger: Sam in kicks off the very first episode
episode this way. His partner Dimitri abandons him after he's been "nixed" by "wormtooth gas" since he's now useless to the cause.
%%* ArcWords: the "The sky is infiniteinfinite."



%%* BigBad: Serias
%%* BlankSlate: Sam or anyone else after getting Nixed

to:

%%* BigBad: Serias
Serias fills this role
%%* BlankSlate: Sam or anyone else after getting NixedNixed. Anyone who has been nixed becomes one of these.
%%* DamselInDistress: Tania starts off as one after being nixed.



%%* EasyAmnesia: most notably Sam, but anyone can be nixed
%%* EvilOverlord: Baron O'Brien is set up to look like one in the beginning
%%* ForgotTheCall: Sam of course
%%* InMediasRes

to:

%%* * EasyAmnesia: most notably Sam, but The title might as well be ''Easy Amnesia: The Series''. The titular wormtooth gas will "nix" anyone can be nixed
%%*
who breathes it in, and pockets of it are ''everywhere'' in the underground city.
*
EvilOverlord: Baron O'Brien is set up to look like one in one, but it's later subverted: he's just trying to hold the beginning
dying city together. Not that he's a nice guy, but he's far from evil. This makes since, since he was based on the character of Oberon from ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream''.
%%* ForgotTheCall: Sam, as a result of being "nixed" by the titular wormtooth gas.
* InMediasRes: The story opens with
Sam in the middle of course
%%* InMediasRes
a mission of some sort, but he's just been [[EasyAmnesia nixed]] and has no more idea of what's going on than the audience does.



%%* LargeHam: Bottom
%%* {{Minimalism}}
%%* StarCrossedLovers: Tania and Bottom

to:

%%* * LargeHam: Bottom
%%* {{Minimalism}}
Bottom hams it up in every scene. This is understandable since he is based on the character of the same name from ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream''.
* {{Minimalism}}: It was filmed on a shoestring college student budget, and all the sets are warehouses located in the city the writer lives in. The actors are all local drama students.
%%* StarCrossedLovers: Tania and BottomBottom. Fitting, since they are based on Bottom and Titania from ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream.''



* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Wormtooth makes you live forever, everyone currently living in the city originally moved there to gain immortality but later forgot]]

to:

* TheReveal: [[spoiler: Wormtooth makes you What else does wormtooth gas, an invisible odorless gas that causes permanent EasyAmnesia and has caused numerous problems for the protagonists, do? [[spoiler:It causes people to live forever, forever in small doses. The entire population of the City moved down to the subterranean world in order to gain immortality, but after an unknown but presumably very long period of time everyone currently living in had been "nixed" so often that no one remembers this fact, nor the city originally moved there way back to gain immortality but later forgot]]the surface.]]

"Welcome to Wormtooth Nation, Welcome to The City.

Here in this underground complex reside the last remnants of the human world. How we came here or why are questions that no longer have answers. It is recommended, should you wish to ask such questions, you do so quietly, and in places where you will not be overheard. We have been here a long time, and there are those in power whose desire is to remain, calmly, repairing this city and prolonging our continued existence until the final cave in ends us all in dirt and darkness. Head among those is the overlord of this world, the Baron O'Brien. The Baron's knowledge of the city is such that should he remain in power, the city will remain in operation, producing the food and water we need to survive, and providing us with all the creature comforts we desire, indefinitely."

It began when Geoffrey Boothby and Cullen Thomas, Two aspiring filmmakers, decided create a steampunk version of Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream. Then end result is a nine-part internet series later compiled into a feature-length movie and sold on the same website it originally aired on. Remarkably good for a student production with a very small budget. The acting is at times overdone, as many of the actors only had stage experience.

Loosely based off the Shakespeare story, it takes place in an underground city filled with a mysterious substance called wormy or wormtooth gas. If inhaled, the gas takes all your memories away. The characters call this getting nixed, and treat it as a regular occurrence. So many people get nixed, it appears that no one remembers how long they have lived in the city or how to get back to the surface. The city, under the leadership of Baron O'Brien continues running, but only barely. There is tension between the official leadership of the Baron and the Union (membership mandatory) as well as the followers of the Graffiti Artist, a revolutionary who leaves messages of hope and finding the surface on the walls.
