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 WebVideoSeries later compiled into a feature-length movie and sold on the same website it originally aired on.

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.

!!This series provides examples of:

%%* AmnesiaDanger: Sam kicks off the very first 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 sky is infinite."
%%* AudienceSurrogate: Sam
%%* BattleButler: Robin
%%* BigBad: Serias fills this role
%%* BlankSlate: Sam or anyone else after getting Nixed. Anyone who has been nixed becomes one of these.
%%* DamselInDistress: Tania starts off as one after being nixed.
%%* DistressedDamsel: Tania starts off as one
%%* TheDragon: Rufus
* EasyAmnesia: The title might as well be ''Easy Amnesia: The Series''. The titular wormtooth gas will "nix" anyone 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, but it's later subverted: he's just trying to hold the 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 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.
%%* RecycledInSpace: averted: the plot differs enough from Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream that it doesn't count
* LargeHam: 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 Bottom. Fitting, since they are based on Bottom and Titania from ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream.''
%%* ShroudedInMyth: The Graffiti Artist
%%* On the Gritty end of the SlidingScaleOfShinyVersusGritty
%%* TheOnlyOne: Sam
* TheReveal: 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 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 had been "nixed" so often that no one remembers this fact, nor the way back to the surface.]]
%%* WhoWantsToLiveForever: [[spoiler: Demitri, since he was last nixed so very, very, ''very'' long ago.]]
