The Reptile Video (Evans High School, Australia, 2022) is a lively short included in the Focus on Ability festival. Running as part of our programme that spotlights young filmmakers with disability, it offers a glimpse into school life through moments that reference reptiles, teenagers and group interactions. Expect lighthearted bloopers and candid scenes that reveal personality, humour and teamwork. While the film’s full story is left for audiences to discover, its presence in this festival highlights creativity, community and the abilities of its makers. A charming, earnest piece that sits comfortably alongside other works celebrating diversity and youth expression.
really bright green one we saw at the zoo. And I'm gonna go around the room now and I'm gonna ask everyone what their favorite reptile was. Shamala, which one's your favorite reptile and tell us why. My favorite reptile was the lizard at the library. And that lizard actually has stripes, and actually not stripes, and dots. Julius, which one's your favorite reptile and tell us why. My favorite reptile is the black lizard where it hides underneath of the bushes. It looks good and cute. Keenan, which one's your favorite reptile and tell us why. I like the pygmy dragon named Bob because he's funny and cool. Alan Jack, what's your favorite reptile and tell us why. I filmed a, I think, jungle tree python. And the reason why I like it is because it constricts its prey, so it strangles it to death. And it's really cool to watch on documentaries. All right, last but not least, and this is a few days later, that's why I'm wearing different clothes. I'm gonna ask Lily what reptiles she'll be interested in filming and she's gonna tell me why. Fine, I guess my favorite reptile is the pygmy dragon because they're friendly, nice, have stripes, and they're a freedom, free of them. But I do sometimes get to scare them whenever I am in the library. It's just one of my things. I just wanna befriend them and free them from their cage because they seem friendly and nice. Okay, so for the rest of this movie, we've actually invited students from classroom one. This is Ethan. AJ could ask Ethan a few questions. What was your favorite reptile and tell us why? It was the lizard because I like the way the head moves around and I like the look of it. What was, there's something with the skin, AJ. What was going on with the skin? Oh, it was shedding its skin to grow. That's why I like that. So Isaac, why did you choose a lizard? He was staring at the camera. No, Isaiah, why did you record it, the pygmy dragon? Because he, the, walk, he's walks. Oh, and fun fact, I also record the pygmy dragon. Because it was a walk. And now we are inviting another student and his name is Jack and he's from roll call three. Why did you pick the lizard and tell us why? Why did I pick the lizard? Because the skin is like black and it has like spikes on it because it's like pretty fancy. And it has like a black tongue, which to me, it's pretty dangerous. Pratham, what reptile did you record? I recorded the diamond python. Why did you record the diamond python, Pratham? I wanna know. I think the snake gentle, the gentle like a pet. Like a pet. Wow, that's really great, Pratham. And it's a good thing it's locked up in its cage or else it could poison you with. Well, like I said before, pythons are not venomous. They are constrictors. So that means they strangle their prey. So bye-bye. Wow, thanks AJ. You just completely threw out my groove because while I wasn't poisoned by a snake, he was poisoned by a moon ghost. And no, not the game, but a mushroom Pokemon. I tried to use that from one of my clips, but Mrs. America said that we would get in trouble if I used any of the copyrights. Well, actually, Lily, if we did, we'd be sued. Sued! And hi, people at home. Like and subscribe to our channel. Anyways, while I'm going to go for, while I'm going to have an argument with AJ out stage, look at the time. Wow, we must have been in this room for like hours now. So yeah, thank you so much for watching this. The last movie about our favorite reptiles and why it's our favorite from Evans High School. See you soon. Action. So, Prepper, why did you pick the red snake? Why did you pick the snake? He's just copying me. Sound. Rolling. Action. Wow, thanks AJ. Wow. All right, whoa, whoa. Sound. Sound. Sound. Sound. Are we rolling sound? Yes. All right. Like I said before, pythons are not venomous. Cut, cut, cut. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh God, that thing looks like it's venomous. Hmm, that looks like a cobra. Lily, that's a cobra. Guys, that cobra is venomous. Guys, that cobra is venomous. Guys, don't call me. Lily, what are you doing? Wait, call, put the phone down and call triple zero. Oh, I'm getting one million views on TikTok. Um, seriously guys, um, we need to call an ambulance.
