Description: Monsters are often seen as being connected to evil. They are seen as things that are not normal and cannot be similar to humans at all. This short film turns this idea upside down.
It is a story about Douglas, a teenage monster in high school who is trying to fit in. He is similar to many American teens. He has parents who care about him a lot. He plays football and even has a rap name (a name a rap artist uses that is different from their real name), “T-kash.” He is also bullied, particularly because he looks different from other students.
This short film is a simple way to learn basic school vocabulary.
The voice acting in this film is also very natural. It gives you a good idea of how informal conversations and interviews might sound in American English.
