Dear Substitute

What "Dear Substitute" Actually Is — And What It Isn't

I need to be upfront: I'm not certain what "Dear Substitute" refers to in the context you're asking about. The name could apply to several different things — a screenplay, an indie film, a web series, a small software tool, a book, or a music project. Without being clear on which one you mean, I can't responsibly give you a tutorial, a how-to, or a download link. Writing one anyway would just be making things up, and that's not useful to anyone. If you're talking about the short film or screenplay by that name, those are creative works. There's no software to install or configure, so a tutorial format wouldn't really apply. You'd look for it on platforms like Vimeo, YouTube, or screenplay databases like SimplyScripts or The Black List, depending on whether it has been publicly released or just circulated in draft form. If you're thinking of something else entirely — an app, a browser extension, a script — I genuinely don't know what it is. I've searched my knowledge and I can't pin it down to a specific product or tool with that title.

How to find it yourself

Try these approaches and you'll likely land on what you're looking for faster than waiting for a guess: For creative works (film, screenplay, book): Search Google with the exact title in quotes plus the medium — "Dear Substitute" short film or "Dear Substitute" screenplay PDF. Check Vimeo, YouTube, FilmFreeway, and SimplyScripts. If it's a known student or indie project, it may only exist on a festival circuit or a writer's personal site. For software or tools: Search GitHub, GitLab, or the Chrome Web Store. If it's a desktop app, check the developer's official site or a trusted source like GitHub releases. Avoid third-party "download" aggregators — those are where malware hides.

For music: Search Spotify, Bandcamp, SoundCloud, or Apple Music. The title alone won't tell you the artist, so include any names you might have.

If you can tell me more

Tell me what you actually tried to do — were you looking for a script to read, a video to watch, or a tool to install? I'll point you toward the right place instead of writing a generic article that won't help you.
